Oman End-of-Service Gratuity Calculator (2026)
Oman's Labour Law gives expatriate workers an end-of-service gratuity when the job ends. It is based on your basic wage only, and there is no minimum length of service. Enter your wage and your service to see the amount.
Based on Article 61 of Oman's Labour Law (Royal Decree 53/2023) for workers who are not covered by the Social Protection Law, which today means expatriate workers until the savings system starts in July 2027. Service before 31 July 2023 is counted under the old law. Part years count in proportion and there is no minimum length of service. This is an estimate: confirm with your employer or the Ministry of Labour.
How the calculator works
- For service from 31 July 2023, the gratuity is at least one month of your last basic wage for each year. Part years count in proportion, so 2 years and 6 months counts as 2.5 years.
- Service before 31 July 2023 still follows the old law: 15 days of wage for each of the first three years of service, then a month for each later year.
- The basic wage is the wage in your contract plus periodic raises. Housing, transport and other allowances are not counted unless your contract says so.
- Resigning does not reduce the gratuity. You lose it only if you are dismissed for one of the serious reasons in Article 40 of the Labour Law.
Frequently asked questions
Who does this apply to?
Workers who are not covered by the Social Protection Law, which in practice means expatriates. Omani workers are covered by the social insurance system instead.
Is the gratuity being replaced?
A savings system for expatriate workers is planned under the Social Protection Law, but its start has been postponed to July 2027. Until then, the employer pays the gratuity directly.
Can my contract give me more?
Yes. One month a year is the legal minimum, and a contract or company policy can promise more. Set the months per year field to what your contract says.
