1. What is KSA Overtime Calculation?

The KSA Overtime Calculation determines the additional pay employees receive for working beyond their standard working hours in Saudi Arabia, following the formula: Overtime Pay = (Basic Wage / Standard Monthly Hours) × Overtime Hours × 1.5.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the KSA overtime formula:

\[ \text{Overtime Pay} = \left( \frac{\text{Basic Wage}}{\text{Standard Monthly Hours}} \right) \times \text{Overtime Hours} \times 1.5 \]

Where:

\( \text{Basic Wage} \) — Monthly basic salary in SAR
\( \text{Standard Monthly Hours} \) — Standard working hours per month (e.g., 160)
\( \text{Overtime Hours} \) — Number of overtime hours worked
1.5 — Overtime multiplier as per KSA labor law

Explanation: The calculation first determines the hourly rate by dividing the basic wage by standard monthly hours, then multiplies by overtime hours and the 1.5 multiplier.

3. Importance of Overtime Calculation

Details: Accurate overtime calculation ensures compliance with Saudi labor laws, proper compensation for employees, and helps employers manage labor costs effectively.
