How much does HR outsourcing cost in Saudi Arabia?

Quick answer

HR outsourcing pricing in Saudi Arabia is driven mainly by your headcount and scope, and is usually delivered as flat monthly tiers. At The Right Way, plans start from 3,500 SAR/month (up to 50 employees), rising to a complete 6-specialist HR department on the top tier — far less than the cost of one senior in-house HR employee. It comes with a written guarantee in the contract: any government fine caused by our own processing error in Qiwa, Mudad, GOSI or WPS is absorbed by us.

What drives the price

HR outsourcing pricing in the Saudi market is driven by two main factors:

  • Headcount: each company-size tier has its own flat monthly rate.
  • Scope: whether the service covers only payroll, or extends to the government platforms (Qiwa, Mudad, GOSI, WPS, Muqeem), contracts, and end-of-service settlements.

Secondary factors include the industry, required Saudization rate, and expat-workforce share.

The flat monthly tiers

Most providers in Saudi Arabia price by size band. At The Right Way, plans start from 3,500 SAR/month for companies up to 50 employees and scale up by headcount and depth of service. This structure gives you a predictable cost and makes annual budgeting straightforward.

Entry plan — by company size
Up to 50 employees3,500 SAR/mo
Up to 100 employees5,000 SAR/mo
Up to 150 employees7,500 SAR/mo

Indicative for the entry plan, excl. VAT. Higher tiers cover more specialties.

Outsourcing is far cheaper than hiring in-house

Hiring one mid-level Saudi HR officer typically costs 12,000–18,000 SAR/month in salary and benefits — and still doesn't cover every specialty (payroll, government platforms, contracts, Saudization).

A monthly outsourcing plan, in contrast, gives you a full 6-specialist team for far less, with continuity through leaves and absences.

Per month — one hire vs a full team
One in-house HR officer12,000–18,000 SAR/mo
TRW plan — a 6-specialist teamfrom 3,500 SAR/mo

Indicative, for comparison. One hire can't cover every specialty; the plan does, and never stops for leave.

The written financial guarantee — the real differentiator

Fines from Qiwa, Mudad, GOSI, and WPS can cost companies thousands of riyals. At The Right Way, the contract includes a written financial guarantee covering those fines when they result from our own processing error — flipping the risk equation in your favour. The full scope of the guarantee is set out in the contract.

Our processing error, our fine — not yours. A written financial guarantee, in the contract.
