Housing allowance is a standard component of employee compensation packages in Saudi Arabia, typically calculated as 25% of basic salary for Saudi nationals. For expatriates, housing may be provided in-kind or as a cash allowance. It is included in GOSI base contribution calculations and factors into End-of-Service Benefit calculations. Market competitiveness of housing allowance is a key variable in talent attraction particularly in high-cost cities like Riyadh and Jeddah. Inclusive Solutions advises on housing allowance benchmarking and structuring as part of its HR consultancy services.
