What a transfer really costs you

Put in what a bank, exchange company or app quoted you. The checker compares the rupees that arrive with what the money is worth at mid market.

Worked example with made up numbers

Say a provider offers 72.28 rupees per SAR and charges a fee of SAR 3.00, taken from the 500 SAR you pay. SAR 497.00 is converted, so PKR 35,923 reaches Pakistan. At today's mid market rate of 73.7541, your 500 SAR is worth PKR 36,877. The difference, PKR 954, or 2.59%, is the full cost of this transfer: PKR 221 from the fee and PKR 733 from a rate 2.00% below mid market. These numbers are an example, not a real quote.

Questions

Saudi Arabia to Pakistan, answered

What is the riyal to rupee rate today?

On 8 November 2026 the mid market rate was 73.75 Pakistani rupees for one Saudi riyal (SAR). This is ExchangeRate API's daily indicative midpoint rate. Banks and transfer services usually give a lower rate and keep the difference.

How much is 500 riyals in Pakistani rupees today?

At the mid market rate of 73.75 on 8 November 2026, 500 SAR is worth PKR 36,877. The amount that actually arrives depends on the provider's fee and exchange rate and will usually be lower.

What is the cheapest way to send money from Saudi Arabia to Pakistan?

No provider is cheapest every day. Ask each one how many rupees will arrive for the same amount after all fees, and compare that number with the mid market value. The quote with the smallest gap is the cheapest transfer that day.

Why is the rate I am offered lower than this one?

The mid market rate is a midpoint between buying and selling prices, not a retail price. Providers usually sell you rupees at a rate below it and keep the difference as their margin, often on top of a fee. The margin is part of the cost even when the fee is zero.

How much is a salary of 3,000 riyals a month in Pakistani rupees?

At the mid market rate on 8 November 2026, 3,000 SAR a month is worth PKR 221,262 a month, or PKR 2,655,147 over twelve months. The rupees that reach Pakistan will be fewer, after the fee and margin of the transfer.

Does the person in Pakistan pay a fee to receive it?

Not for qualifying transfers of USD 200 or more, which is about 750 SAR on 8 November 2026. State Bank of Pakistan rules tell banks in Pakistan to keep these home remittances free of fees and charges for the sender and the receiver. The rules cover fees, not the exchange rate.

Is money sent home taxed in Pakistan?

Section 111(4) of the Income Tax Ordinance keeps up to five million rupees a tax year of foreign remittances, sent through normal banking channels and encashed by a Pakistani bank, outside the rules on unexplained income, if a bank certificate is produced. Exchange companies and money transfer operators count as banking channels.

How is end of service worked out in Saudi Arabia?

Under Article 84 of the Labor Law it is half a month's wage for each of the first five years and a month's wage for each year after, on the last actual wage. A worker who resigns gets a share set by Article 85: nothing under two years, one third up to five, two thirds up to ten, and the full award from ten years.
