End of Service Calculator — Sultanate of Oman 🇴🇲
End of service gratuity in Oman varies by nationality (Omani or expatriate), applicable system (Labor Law or SPF), years of service, and employment contract terms. This calculator provides an initial estimate and is not a definitive legal calculation.
Article 61 of the Updated Oman Labour Law:
Workers not covered by the Social Protection Law are entitled to a gratuity of no less than one full basic monthly salary per year of service, with partial years calculated proportionally.
| Service Period | New Law (Minimum) | Old Law (Reference) |
|---|---|---|
| Less than 1 year | Pro-rated | Not entitled |
| 1 to 5 years | 1 month / year | 15–20 days / year |
| Over 5 years | 1 month / year (minimum) | 30 days / year ≈ 1.15 months |
💡 Note: For service over 5 years, the old system (30 days ÷ 26 = 1.15 months/year) may exceed the new minimum. Check your individual contract.

Expat employee, basic salary OMR 400, service period 5 years and 6 months (= 5.5 years)
Per Article 61 of Oman Labor Law: one full month's basic salary per year of service, with fractions calculated proportionally. 6 months = 0.5 additional months' salary.
Formula: Basic salary × years of service (fractions pro-rated)
| Basic Salary | 1 Year | 2 Years | 3 Years | 5 Years | 10 Years | 15 Years | 20 Years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| OMR 300 | 300 | 600 | 900 | 1,500 | 3,000 | 4,500 | 6,000 |
| OMR 400 | 400 | 800 | 1,200 | 2,000 | 4,000 | 6,000 | 8,000 |
| OMR 500 | 500 | 1,000 | 1,500 | 2,500 | 5,000 | 7,500 | 10,000 |
| OMR 700 | 700 | 1,400 | 2,100 | 3,500 | 7,000 | 10,500 | 14,000 |
| OMR 1,000 | 1,000 | 2,000 | 3,000 | 5,000 | 10,000 | 15,000 | 20,000 |
| OMR 1,500 | 1,500 | 3,000 | 4,500 | 7,500 | 15,000 | 22,500 | 30,000 |
| OMR 2,000 | 2,000 | 4,000 | 6,000 | 10,000 | 20,000 | 30,000 | 40,000 |
Amounts in Omani Riyals (OMR) — indicative, based on Article 61 minimum
Source: Article 61, Omani Labor Law | Content last updated: August 2026
Old system: 15 days for years 1–3, 20 days for years 3–5, 30 days after 5 years (calculated from daily rate = basic÷26). New system (Article 61): minimum is one full month's salary per year with fractions pro-rated. The higher amount applies per the employment contract and applicable system.
Under the updated Omani Labor Law (Article 61), fractions of a year are calculated proportionally. An employee who completed 6 months is entitled to 0.5 months' salary.
Yes. Oman's Labor Law applies to both Omani nationals and expatriates. Expatriate employees are entitled to end of service gratuity under the stated provisions, and also have an SPF savings program funded by the employer.
Under labor law, gratuity is calculated on basic salary only. Some companies include allowances in the individual contract and use them in the calculation — check your contract to confirm.
For Omanis: end of service is managed through the SPF savings program with employer contributions of 11.5% monthly. For expatriates: calculated under Article 61 (minimum one month's salary per year of service).
Under Article 91 of Oman's Labor Law, the employer must pay the employee's wages and all entitlements upon termination of employment. If the employee leaves voluntarily, entitlements must be paid within 7 days of the leaving date. In case of delay, the employee can file a complaint with the Ministry of Labour.
Entitlements differ based on the reason for termination, the applicable legal system, and the employment contract. Specific circumstances may affect the entitlement. Check your contract and consult a specialist lawyer to confirm.
End of service gratuity is calculated per the provisions applicable to the employee, their contract, and the prevailing legal system. Do not use the 3-year rule as a general rule; entitlements may differ based on the termination reason and applicable system.
Under the updated Article 61, gratuity is calculated proportionally for each year of service whether termination is employee- or employer-initiated. In case of disciplinary dismissal under Article 40, gratuity may be forfeited in whole or in part. Consult a specialist lawyer for your specific situation.
Under Article 61, fractions are pro-rated: 6 months = 0.5 month of basic salary. Example: expat employee with OMR 400 basic salary and 5 years and 6 months service: 400 × 5.5 = OMR 2,200.
Oman End of Service Gratuity — How It's Calculated
Under Article 61 of Oman's Labour Law (Royal Decree 53/2023), eligible employees not covered by the Social Protection Fund (SPF) receive at least one basic wage for each year of service, with partial years calculated proportionally. Omani nationals enrolled in SPF have their end-of-service managed through that programme instead; the Article 61 formula applies primarily to expatriate employees and Omanis not covered by SPF.
Key factors affecting the calculation
- Gratuity is based on basic salary only — housing allowance, transport and other benefits are excluded unless the employment contract specifies otherwise
- Partial years are pro-rated — 6 months of service = 0.5 months' gratuity
- Omani nationals enrolled in SPF may have different entitlements — check with your employer or the SPF directly
