How to use it
- Enter an amount in SAR. The result in PKR updates as you type.
- Use the swap button to convert the other way.
- Check the rate date under the result, and the quick-reference table for common amounts.
The formula
PKR = SAR × Rate(SAR → PKR)
To go back, divide by the same rate: SAR = PKR ÷ Rate.
About SAR to PKR
Saudi Arabia is one of the largest sources of remittances to Pakistan.
The rupee is a floating currency, so the rate changes every working day; the riyal side is fixed to the dollar at 3.75.
Pakistan’s official remittance programmes and banks often advertise "zero fee" transfers. Check the exchange rate they apply as well — the margin can matter more than the fee.
Assumptions
- The rate is a mid-market reference rate, not a bank’s buy or sell price.
- Rates are published once per working day and cached on your device for up to an hour.
Common mistakes
- Expecting a bank or exchange shop to give you the reference rate exactly.
- Forgetting to check the publication date on weekends and public holidays.
Questions
How many rupees is 1,000 riyals?
Enter 1,000 above for the latest reference rate and its date.
Is a zero-fee transfer always cheapest?
Not necessarily. Put the provider’s rate into the transfer fee calculator to see the margin hidden in it.
