Have you or your family owned a suitable home in the last 5 years?

About this calculator

What the result means

This calculator only checks the basic documented conditions (nationality, age or category, residency, not previously owning a home, no prior benefit, asset ceiling). Meeting all these conditions doesn't guarantee actual eligibility (there may be additional conditions or priorities in the actual assessment), and failing to meet even one condition here means preliminary non-eligibility based on publicly available information.

Recommendation

If you pass the preliminary check here, submit your actual application via the Sakani platform or app to find out the official eligibility result and the precise support amount tied to your actual income and family size. If you fail to meet even one condition, first check whether one of the special exceptions applies to you (like singles with special health circumstances or orphans) which aren't covered by this simplified check.

Frequently asked questions

Why doesn't this calculator give the exact support amount?

Because the official "support matrix" that links your income and family size to a specific support figure isn't published officially in full detail by any trusted source. Available sources only confirm a general range (approximately 416-1,350 SAR/month), so we avoided fabricating a precise number that could be wrong and misleading.

What are the basic eligibility conditions for housing support?

Saudi nationality, age 20 or older for a regular head of household, permanent residence in the Kingdom, the family not owning a suitable home in the last 5 years, no prior benefit from housing support, and family financial assets not exceeding 5 million SAR excluding personal vehicles.

Does the support include a down payment in addition to the monthly support?

Yes, sources mention a non-refundable grant as a down payment that can reach up to 150,000 SAR, in addition to the ongoing monthly support to reduce the financing installment.

Where do I check my actual eligibility and the exact support amount?

Only via the official Sakani platform (sakani.sa) or its app, after logging in and entering your actual data.
