Where does your local content stand?
Enter your spending and see where your percentage comes from and which line is holding it down — no contact details, and no figure leaves your browser.
Enter the year's figures in the same sections the Authority's methodology uses. Do not enter government fees, customs duties or non-monetary transactions — they are excluded from the base entirely.
Manpower
The full cost: salaries, allowances, the employer's GOSI share and the end-of-service charge.
The full cost of non-Saudi employees, counted at 53.4% under the Authority's methodology.
Depreciation and amortisation
The year's charge on assets produced inside the Kingdom, including land and buildings.
The year's charge on imported assets — 30% of it counts.
Training and capability building
The cost of training Saudi employees during the year.
Research and development, supplier development, and capability-building programmes.
Purchases
Add your suppliers one line at a time. What each purchase contributes is decided by the supplier, not by you: their sector, and whether they hold a local content certificate.
No purchases added yet.
Unattributed cost (SAR)
Spending you cannot attribute to a named supplier. It sits in the base and contributes nothing — the most expensive line you can carry.

The number is your own division
The tool does not estimate your certified percentage or promise one. It takes the figures you enter and divides them, because the certified percentage is computed from verified records and audited statements, and may differ materially.
- 02
The composition matters more than the number
Most finance managers already know roughly what their percentage is; what they do not know is where it comes from. The bar beside each line says which carries the weight, and which non-local spending is capping it.

The classification is yours
You decide what is local and what is not — a local invoice for an imported good is not wholly local spending. Our work is to arrange your classification and verify it against invoices, contracts and country-of-origin evidence.

The Authority issues the certificate
The accredited firm issues the agreed-upon procedures report; the Local Content and Government Procurement Authority issues the certificate on the basis of it.
