Use these free planning resources to turn a Saudi relocation offer into a household decision. Start with your own written benefits and quotes; the example numbers in our guides are not promises about what your move will cost.
Start with the Dubai vs Riyadh Salary Calculator
Have an offer in each city? Use the free Dubai vs Riyadh salary calculator to compare salary, cash allowances, housing, school costs, transport and other household spending. See estimated monthly surplus, annual savings and the basic salary needed to match the other package.
Have both written offers and your rent and school quotes ready. Enter your own currency conversion rate and household totals. The calculator uses your inputs rather than live market prices; family size does not automatically multiply your costs. Read the salary comparison methodology before treating the result as a decision.
Choose the decision you are working on
- Job offer checklist: record what is guaranteed, conditional or missing before accepting.
- Household budget framework: separate monthly costs, annual bills and arrival cash.
- Dubai vs Riyadh comparison worksheet: compare annual savings in one currency.
- Housing comparison framework: compare the full premium, commute and included services.
- School allowance worksheet: calculate costs beyond the employer cap.
- First 30 days checklist: assign owners and dependencies to arrival tasks.
