How Saudi overtime pay is worked out

Article 107 pays every overtime hour at your actual hourly wage — worked out from basic plus fixed allowances — plus 50% of your basic hourly wage. The same rate applies to overtime on rest days and public holidays, so there's one box for all your hours. Hourly wages here are monthly × 12 ÷ 365 ÷ 8.

Actual hourly wage: (Basic + fixed allowances) × 12 ÷ 365 ÷ 8.
Basic hourly wage: Basic salary × 12 ÷ 365 ÷ 8.
Article 107 rate: Actual hourly wage + 50% of the basic hourly wage, for each overtime hour.
Rest days & holidays: Paid at the same Article 107 rate as any other overtime hour.

Frequently asked questions

How is overtime calculated in Saudi Arabia?

Under Article 107 of the Labour Law each overtime hour is paid at your actual hourly wage (basic plus fixed allowances) plus 50% of your basic hourly wage.

Is Saudi overtime 150% of basic?

Only if you have no allowances. Because Article 107 starts from your actual wage, any housing or transport allowance pushes the hourly rate above 1.5 × basic hourly. That's why the calculator asks for allowances.

Is overtime on a rest day or public holiday paid more in Saudi Arabia?

Article 107 uses the same rate for overtime on rest days and public holidays as for any other overtime hour, so the calculator adds those hours to the same total.

Which allowances count for Saudi overtime?

Fixed monthly allowances such as housing and transport are part of your actual wage. Variable pay such as commission and one-off bonuses normally isn't.

What if my employer doesn't pay overtime in Saudi Arabia?

Keep records of your hours and raise it with HR in writing first. If it isn't resolved, you can file a labour complaint with the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development.
