  • − Return on capital 0
  • Net mineral value 0

  • Tax-equivalent compensation 0

Total financial compensation = mineral value compensation at extraction + income-tax equivalent
Mineral value compensation at extraction = net mineral value at extraction × the mineral rate in the regulations
Net mineral value at extraction = revenue − operating expenses + non-deductible operating expenses − estimated return on capital
Estimated return on capital = opening book value of assets × (10-year government bond yield + 5% mining premium) × (days in the period ÷ 365)
Income-tax equivalent = (adjusted taxable profit × 20%) − income tax due from the foreign partner − zakat due from the Saudi partner
• The income-tax equivalent applies to 100% Saudi companies and mixed companies.

  • Number of ores 0
  • Upper tier threshold 50,000 ton
  • Revenue percentage rate 5%

Per ore: compensation = usable quantity × per-ton price . Some minerals (industrial marble/limestone/dolomite) are priced in two tiers: up to 50,000 ton at the base price and the remainder at a higher price. Other minerals (barite, graphite, mica…) are charged at 5% of net revenue. The compensations of all ores are summed.

  • Number of ores 0
  • Calculation method greater of the two

Per ore: production compensation = exploited quantity × per-ton price and minimum amount = minimum capacity × per-ton price . The due compensation is the greater of the two. The price is fixed per ore, while the minimum capacity increases with the site area.
