Legal basis
Saudi Labour Law — overtime at 150% of hourly rate; standard 8 hours/day, 48 hours/week; Ramadan reduced hours for Muslim employees.
Standard working hours in KSA
Normal working hours are 8 hours per day and 48 hours per week. During Ramadan, Muslim employees work 6 hours per day — overtime rules still apply to hours beyond the reduced schedule.
Calculating the hourly rate
This calculator uses monthly basic salary ÷ (26 working days × 8 hours). Some employers use alternative divisors — confirm with HRSD or your payroll policy.
Overtime approval and records
Overtime must be authorised and recorded before payroll. Unapproved overtime creates compliance and cost risks for KSA employers.
