While the Saturn's mass is 95.110515740 times that of Earth, it's diameter is 9.449134937 that of Earth. Since gravity is calculated by g= Gm/r^2 you can see where this might throw things off a bit.
Plugging in Saturn's mass (5.6800E+26 kg) and Radius (60268 km) you get 10.4344416977 m/sec^2 or 1.0650129407 that of earth. So a person weighing 100 kg on Earth would weigh 106.50129407 kg on Saturn.
I know, this figure threw me also when I first saw it, so I check it several times. .

Saturn's gravity is 1.08 G. Earth's gravity is 1 G. Check out this web page for an explanation.
