How it's calculated
- Daily wage = monthly wage ÷ 30.
- 30 days × daily wage for each year
- Years of service before Jul 31, 2023 use the old law: 15 days for each of the first 3 years, then 30 days after year 3. Enter your real start date so the calculator can split your service.
- Part years count pro rata.
Non-Omani workers earn at least one month's basic wage for each year of service from 31 July 2023, with no cap. Years worked before that date are paid under the old law: 15 days' basic wage for each of the first three years, then one month. From no later than July 2027, a 9% employer savings contribution to the Social Protection Fund replaces the gratuity for new service.
