Wage gap ledger

Enter what you expected and what actually arrived for each month. The result is one clear record to check against payslips and bank statements.

This is an arithmetic record of the figures you enter. It does not judge why a difference exists or decide any dispute.

The figures stay on this page on your device; they are not saved or sent.

Add at least one month, then total the ledger.

The short answer

For each month, enter what you expected, what actually arrived, and any deduction shown in your record. The tool totals expected and paid amounts, shows their signed difference, and counts months that differ. Recorded deductions remain separate so they are never counted twice, and the tool does not judge why a difference exists.

One record instead of scattered calculations

Use one row per month, then enter three figures: what you expected, what actually arrived, and any deduction shown on the payslip or record. The ledger accepts Arabic, Persian, and English digits and totals up to 24 months without saving the entries.

Result	How it is shown
Expected total	Sum of the expected field for every month
Paid total	Sum of the amount actually paid
Signed difference	Expected minus paid
Recorded deductions	A separate total that is not added to the difference
Different months	Number of months in which the two figures do not match

Why are deductions kept separate?

The effect of a deduction may already be reflected in the amount that reached the account. The ledger therefore does not assume that a recorded deduction should be added to the difference; it displays the figure beside the result so the records can be compared without duplication. It does not classify the deduction or decide why a difference exists.

Legal context for checking the record

Article 90 sets wage-payment timing by wage basis, including payment once a month for monthly-paid workers. Source 1

Article 92 addresses cases in which amounts may be deducted from wages, while the Ministry of Human Resources collects those cases and their controls on its “Wage Deduction Cases and Limits” page. Source 2 Source 3

The current reference is the Labor Law issued by Royal Decree M/51 and amended by Royal Decree M/44 of 1446H, with amendments effective 19 February 2025. Decree M/44 amended parts of the law issued under M/51 and stated that the amendment would take effect 180 days after publication. Source 4

Those provisions explain the wage and deduction context; the ledger does not turn them into an individual finding. Establishing the expected figure from a contract or payslip, the reason for a difference, and the reliability of supporting records all remain outside the arithmetic.

Before printing the record

Check each month against the payslip and bank statement, and make sure the paid field contains what actually arrived rather than only the figure printed on a payslip. Once a result appears, a separate confirmation can reveal exact figures in a result image or printable report. Public sharing remains a generic link and message, making it easy to pass the tool to someone who needs to organize a record without exposing your figures.

Frequently asked questions

Does the ledger decide whether a particular deduction is valid?

No. Article 92 and the Ministry's guidance provide the framework for deduction cases and controls, but this tool does not apply that framework to an individual event. It totals the figures as entered and leaves the reason and supporting records outside the calculation.[1][2]

Are recorded deductions added to the difference?

No. The difference is expected total minus paid total. Recorded deductions appear as a separate reconciliation line, because adding them to the difference could count the same effect twice.

What does a negative sign mean?

It means the paid total you entered is above the expected total. A positive sign means the reverse, while zero means the totals match. These are arithmetic descriptions, not legal classifications.

Do my figures appear when I share the tool?

Public sharing uses the tool link and generic text without figures. An exact result image or printable copy becomes available only after a separate confirmation box is selected beside the result.
