How to read these figures

Observed ranges are computed from salaries stated in live listings on this site. They skew toward roles whose employers publish pay, which is a minority.
Researched ranges come from desk research and are estimates, not measurements.
Figures are gross monthly base pay. They exclude housing and transport allowances, which in Saudi Arabia commonly add 25–35% to base.
There is no personal income tax on salary in Saudi Arabia, so gross is much closer to net than in most European markets.
