Pakistanis working in Saudi Arabia who send salary home, and families in Pakistan who receive it usually want one number: how many rupees a riyal buys today. The converter above gives the mid-market reference rate for the Saudi Riyal against the Pakistani rupee and works in both directions. It is a benchmark, not an offer. What a bank, an exchange company or a money-transfer service pays out will differ, and the next sections explain why.
How the SAR to PKR rate is built
The riyal is pegged to the US dollar at SAR 3.75 per dollar, so the riyal-rupee rate moves only when the dollar-rupee rate moves. The rate on this page is derived from the US dollar. The dollar-rupee rate is the base, and the riyal's value per dollar converts it. Our dollar rate page shows the interbank and open-market dollar quotes in Pakistan separately.
Reference rate versus the rate you actually get
Three rates exist for any currency pair at once:
- Mid-market rate: the midpoint between what buyers will pay and sellers will accept. This is what the page shows.
- Interbank rate: the rate at which banks trade with each other. In Pakistan, the State Bank of Pakistan publishes interbank dollar rates on its website.
- Retail rate: what a counter or app quotes you. It sits on one side of the mid-market rate, and any fee or commission sits on top.
The difference between the retail and mid-market rates is the provider's margin. Comparing the final rupee amount a provider will deliver, after all fees, is the only like-for-like check.
Common amounts
The table beside the converter lists the rupee value of round SAR amounts. For other amounts, type the figure into the converter and use the swap button to convert rupees back into saudi riyals.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How is the riyal to rupee rate calculated?
- This page converts through the US dollar: the dollar-rupee rate divided by the number of saudi riyals per dollar. The riyal is pegged to the US dollar at SAR 3.75 per dollar, so the riyal-rupee rate moves only when the dollar-rupee rate moves.
- Why does my bank or exchange company quote a different SAR rate?
- The rate on this page is a mid-market reference rate, the midpoint between buying and selling prices. Banks, exchange companies and money-transfer services quote a lower rate when they buy rupees from you and a higher one when they sell, and some add a fee. The gap is the provider's margin.
- How often is the SAR to PKR rate on this page updated?
- The page fetches the rate from its data provider every three hours. The provider itself publishes a new set of rates once a day, and the update date is shown above the calculator.
