How it works

The Social Insurance Law issued by Law No. 1 of 2022 came into force on 3 January 2023 and covers Qatari citizens working in the government or private sector from age eighteen in regular employment; expatriates are not covered, and GCC nationals follow their own countries' extension schemes. Contributions are calculated on the 'contribution salary', defined in Article 1 as the basic salary plus the social allowance plus the housing allowance. Article 12 counts the housing allowance only up to QAR 6,000 a month, and housing provided in kind is treated as if paid in cash. Article 11 caps the whole contribution salary at QAR 100,000 and splits the 21% contribution into 7% deducted from the employee and 14% paid by the employer, due by the fifth of the following month. When the housing cap and the ceiling both bite, the housing allowance is cut first and then only enough of it to reach 100,000 counts. Salaries already above QAR 100,000 before the law can be grandfathered under Article 13; that option is not modelled.

Calculation method

  • Contribution salary = basic + social allowance + min(housing, 6,000), capped at 100,000
  • Employee 7%; employer 14%; total 21%
  • Rounded to the dirham

Worked examples

Housing above the cap

Inputs: Basic 20,000; social 5,000; housing 8,000

Result: Employee QAR 2,170; employer QAR 4,340

31,000 counted (housing 6,000).

A calculation aid, not a GRSIA statement.

Limitations

  • The Article 13 frozen salary for pre-2023 earners above QAR 100,000 is not modelled.
  • Voluntary contributions by self-employed Qataris (Article 4) are not covered.
  • Military and special schemes are excluded.

Where publishers use it

  • A government entity's HR page for Qatari new joiners
  • A private employer budgeting Qatarisation hires
  • A payroll vendor's GRSIA help article
  • A Qatar Foundation or ministry HR desk onboarding Qatari graduates
  • A private bank in West Bay budgeting Qatarisation hires

Questions

What is the social insurance contribution in Qatar?

21% of the contribution salary for Qatari employees: 7% deducted from the employee and 14% paid by the employer (Law 1/2022 Article 11).

Which salary components count?

Basic salary, social allowance and housing allowance (Article 1). The housing allowance counts up to QAR 6,000 a month (Article 12), and the total is capped at QAR 100,000.

Do expatriates pay social insurance in Qatar?

No. The law applies to Qataris; expatriates receive the end-of-service gratuity under the Labour Law instead.

When are contributions paid to the Authority?

By the fifth day of the following month (Article 11). Late payment attracts a fine of 2% a month on the overdue amount (Article 21), and under-declared wages an extra 10% (Article 22).
