Saudi Payday Countdown
كم باقي على الراتب
See how long until Saudi government salaries, retirees' pensions and Hafiz support are paid, with Hijri and Gregorian dates.
Calculated in your browser. Your data is never sent to a server.
Saudi government salaries are paid on the 27th of each Gregorian month, pensions on the 1st and Hafiz support on the 5th. When the pay day falls on the weekend (Friday or Saturday), it is usually brought forward to Thursday.
The countdown updates every second and shows the next pay date for each, plus a table for the next six months.
How dates are worked out
- Take each group's usual day in the current Gregorian month.
- If it falls on Friday move it back one day; on Saturday, two days, to Thursday.
- If this month's date has passed, use next month.
- Time left is counted to the start of pay day, Riyadh time.
