How it works
Royal Decree 53 of 2023, in force from 31 July 2023, rewrote Oman's labour law. Article 61 obliges the employer, when the employment of a worker not covered by the Social Protection Law ends, to pay a gratuity of not less than «أجر أساسي» - a basic wage - for each year of service, fractions in proportion, on the worker's final basic wage, and service before 2023 counts. In practice that means expatriates: Omanis are insured under the Social Protection Fund's old-age branch and receive no employer gratuity. The old 2003 law said 'fifteen days' wage for the first three years and a month after'; the new text says only 'a basic wage', which for a monthly-paid worker A2Z reads as one month's basic wage - the widget states that reading. There is no minimum service and no reduction on resignation, but dismissal for one of the nine grounds in Article 40 forfeits it. Article 61 applies until the Fund's savings system starts - at the latest 19 July 2027 - after which the employer pays 9% of basic wage into savings instead, and service up to that date is settled under Article 61.
Calculation method
- Gratuity = years of service x final basic monthly wage ("a basic wage" per year, read as one month)
- Part years pro rata; no minimum; no resignation cut; nil on Art. 40 dismissal
- Payable immediately, or within 7 days if the worker resigned (Art. 91)
Worked examples
Four years
Inputs: Final basic OMR 350; 2021-2024
Result: OMR 1,400.000
Eight months
Inputs: Final basic OMR 350
Result: OMR 233.333
8 / 12 of a basic wage (244 / 366 days).
Dismissed under Article 40
Inputs: Any service
Result: OMR 0.000
A calculation aid, not legal advice. The Ministry of Labour and the courts decide disputed amounts.
Limitations
- Non-Omani private-sector workers; GCC nationals are not covered (unresolved).
- The one-month reading of "a basic wage" is an interpretation of the Arabic text.
- Employer savings plans approved under Article 48 that replace the gratuity are not modelled.

Questions
How is end of service calculated in Oman?
Under Labour Law Article 61 (RD 53/2023), a non-Omani worker receives at least a basic wage for each year of service, pro rata, on the final basic wage. Four years on OMR 350 basic gives OMR 1,400.
Do Omanis get an end-of-service gratuity?
Not from the employer. Omanis are insured under the Social Protection Fund's old-age, disability and death branch; Article 61 covers workers outside that law.
What is the Oman savings scheme?
Under Social Protection Law Article 139, the employer will pay 9% of a non-Omani worker's basic wage each month into a savings fund that replaces the gratuity. The Fund's board sets the start date, at the latest 19 July 2027; until then Article 61 applies.
Is there a minimum service for gratuity in Oman?
No. The 2023 law sets no minimum; part years count in proportion.
Why does the calculator say 'a basic wage'?
The Arabic text says «أجر أساسي عن كل عام», not «أجر شهر». For a monthly-paid worker that is read as one month's basic wage; the old 2003 law used different wording.
Rules and official sources
Every legal or regulatory figure this widget uses is listed here, with the official page it was read from. The widget reads them from A2Z's rule file for Oman; when a rule changes, the widget changes with it.
| Rule | Official source | In force from | Last verified | Next review |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| End-of-service gratuity (non-Omani workers) Art. 61: for workers not covered by the Social Protection Law (in practice non-Omanis), a gratuity of "not less than a basic wage for each year of service", pro rata for part years, on the FINAL basic wage (Art. 1(17): the cash pay agreed in the contract plus periodic increments). No minimum service and no reduction on resignation. Interpretation: for a monthly-paid worker "a basic wage" is read as one month's basic wage - the Arabic says «أجر أساسي», the old law (RD 35/2003 Art. 39) said «أجر شهر»; no official example states the amount, so the reading is shown on the widget. Lost on dismissal under Art. 40. Applies until the Social Protection Fund savings system starts (latest 19 Jul 2027); service before that start stays under Art. 61. Omanis receive no employer gratuity (they are in the Social Protection Law old-age branch). |
