SAR to PKR: budget the money you send home

Saudi Arabia is one of the largest sources of remittances to Pakistan. If you send riyals home every month, a clear budget makes the amount predictable for your family and keeps you from running short before payday.

Budgeting tips for Pakistanis working in Saudi Arabia

  • Decide the transfer amount on payday, before everyday spending starts.
  • Keep a separate line for yearly costs such as flights home and iqama-related fees, divided by twelve.
  • Record the rupee amount received so you can see what your money really became.

Why this matters

  • Pakistan received US$38.3 billion in workers’ remittances in FY2024-25, up 26.6% on the year before (State Bank of Pakistan).
  • In June 2025, Saudi Arabia was the largest source of remittances to Pakistan, at US$823.2 million for the month (State Bank of Pakistan).

Questions

No. This is the mid-market rate. Banks, exchange houses and apps add a margin and sometimes a fee, so compare the amount your family will actually receive before you send.

BudgetByChat syncs exchange rates several times a day. The page shows the time of the last update.

Nobody can reliably predict short-term moves. If your family needs a set amount each month, sending on a fixed day and budgeting for it is usually safer than timing the market.

The Saudi riyal is pegged to the US dollar, so most of the movement you see in SAR to PKR comes from the rupee’s value against the dollar.
