Overtime pay calculator

Work out overtime pay under article 107: the actual hourly wage plus 50% of the basic hourly wage.

The result is an estimate for planning. The law and your contract decide the final amount.

How the calculator works it out

Under article 107 each overtime hour is paid the actual hourly wage plus 50% of the basic hourly wage. The calculator divides the monthly wage by 240 hours (30 days × 8 hours, article 98).

Example: basic SAR 4,000, actual SAR 5,400, 6 overtime hours: actual hourly 5,400 ÷ 240 = 22.5, half the basic hourly 4,000 ÷ 240 ÷ 2 = 8.33, so each overtime hour is SAR 30.83 and the total SAR 185.

What it does not cover: reduced Ramadan hours, or a contract with fewer than eight daily hours. Both change the monthly hours the wage is divided by.
