Salary Certificate Generator

A salary certificate is a letter from an employer, on company letterhead, confirming that a person works for the company, their job title, joining date and current monthly salary — usually split into basic salary and each allowance. In Arabic it is called شهادة راتب, and in Saudi Arabia it is often called تعريف بالراتب (salary definition letter). Banks, embassies, landlords and immigration authorities in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and the rest of the GCC ask for it.

Company name and address, a reference number and date, who it is addressed to, the employee's full name as on the passport, nationality, passport (and Emirates ID / Iqama) number, job title, joining date, the monthly salary broken down into basic and allowances with the total, the purpose of the letter, and the name, title and signature of an authorised signatory with the company stamp. A total in words ("UAE dirhams fourteen thousand only") avoids disputes about the figure.

A salary certificate only confirms employment and salary. A salary transfer letter goes further: the employer undertakes to keep paying the salary into a specific bank account (and often to pay end-of-service dues there) until the bank releases it. Banks ask for a salary transfer letter for personal loans and credit cards that depend on salary assignment. Use our salary transfer letter template for that.

An authorised signatory — usually the HR manager, finance manager or a general manager — whose name and title appear under the signature, with the company stamp. Some banks have a list of authorised signatories on file for companies on their payroll lists, so check with the bank if the letter is for a loan.

There is no legal validity period, but most banks and embassies only accept a certificate dated within the last 30 days (some accept up to 3 months). Issue a fresh one for each application rather than reusing an old letter.

Both. Gulf salary certificates list basic salary and each allowance separately, then the total. Banks usually lend against the total, while family-visa salary thresholds and some embassy checks look at the total too. Make sure the figures match what you pay through WPS (Mudad in Saudi Arabia) — banks can see salary credits on statements.

Yes. Choose Arabic or Both in the generator. Government entities in Saudi Arabia and some UAE authorities prefer Arabic; banks and embassies generally accept English. Both side by side prints on one A4 page.
