SAR to PHP today
1 SAR = 16.9813 PHP
On 98% of the 255 days SAR/PHP was published in the year to 30 October 2026, one SAR bought fewer Philippine pesos than it does today. Over that year the published rate ranged from 15.3496 to 17.0650 PHP.
That describes rates that were published in the past. It is not a prediction, it does not indicate what the rate will do next, and it is not advice about whether or when to transfer money.
- SAR is pegged to the US dollar at 3.75 per USD (Saudi Central Bank (SAMA)); this rate is derived from the USD cross rate.

Daily reference rate vs what you’ll actually get
The SAR/PHP rate above is the daily reference rate published by European Central Bank euro foreign exchange reference rates on 2026-10-30. It is the reference point, not a price you can transact at.
Why the amount received is lower
- Transfer fee. A flat charge, or a percentage, taken by the sending service.
- Exchange rate markup. Most services apply a spread to the reference rate. This is usually the larger cost and is often not shown as a fee.
- Receiving method. Bank deposit, mobile wallet and cash pickup can carry different rates and charges (bank deposit, e-wallets and cash pickup are priced differently).
- Timing. Reference rates are published once per working day; a transfer is priced when it is executed.
What a markup costs
Illustration only, not a quote from any provider: at a 1.5% markup with a SAR4.00 fee, sending SAR1,000 delivers about ₱16,660 instead of the ₱16,981 the daily reference rate implies — a difference of ₱322.
Compare an offer against this rate
If a bank or transfer service has quoted you a rate and a fee, put them in here. It works out what you would receive at their rate after their fee, what the same amount comes to at the reference rate above, and the difference between the two.
The reference rate is not a rate anyone is obliged to offer, and a difference from it is not evidence of wrongdoing: providers carry real costs, and the spread is how most of them are paid rather than through the fee. This is arithmetic on figures you entered, to make the cost visible. It is not advice, and not a claim about any provider.

Where this rate comes from
Source: European Central Bank. The rate is derived from the US dollar cross rate and the SAR peg, because SAR is not quoted directly against PHP. Full detail is on the methodology page, including publication schedules and how derived rates are calculated.
