How it is calculated
- Wage used: Last basic wage including periodic allowance.
- Formula: One month’s wage per year of service.
- Minimum service: none when the employer ends the contract.
- If you resign: Full, no reduction.
- Service from 31 July 2023 earns one month’s basic wage per year. Service before that date is calculated under the old law: 15 days per year for the first 3 years, one month after.
- No reduction for resignation. The award is lost only on dismissal under Article 40.
- For non-Omanis, a Social Protection Fund savings system (9% of basic wage) will replace the gratuity on a date the Fund sets, no later than 19 July 2027. Gratuity earned before the switch stays owed.

What to know in Oman
Oman's Labour Law, Royal Decree 53/2023, gives non-Omani employees one month's basic wage, including any periodic allowance, for each year of service from 31 July 2023. Service before that date is still calculated under the old law (Royal Decree 35/2003): 15 days a year for the first three years and one month after. The calculator splits your service at that date automatically.
Resigning does not reduce the award, while dismissal under Article 40 removes it. For non-Omanis, a Social Protection Fund savings system, at 9% of basic wage, is due to replace the gratuity on a date the Fund sets, no later than 19 July 2027; gratuity earned before the switch stays owed. Omanis are covered by the Social Protection Fund pension instead.
