How the Saudi overtime calculation works

Under Saudi labor rules, overtime compensation is calculated using the hourly wage plus 50% of the basic hourly wage. This calculator separates the actual wage and basic wage so the estimate can reflect that calculation.

Overtime formula

Actual Hourly Wage = Total Wage ÷ Working Days ÷ Hours Per Day
Basic Hourly Wage = Basic Salary ÷ Working Days ÷ Hours Per Day
Overtime Rate = Actual Hourly Wage + (Basic Hourly Wage × 50%)
Overtime Pay = Overtime Rate × Overtime Hours

Example

If your basic salary is SAR 4,000, your total wage is SAR 6,000, you use 30 working days and 8 hours per day, the estimated overtime rate is approximately SAR 33.33 per hour. For 3 overtime hours, the estimated overtime pay is approximately SAR 100.
