BahrainGratuity for OMR 5,000 basic after 10 years in Oman
You get at least one month's basic wage for every year you worked, pro-rated for part years, with no cap and no minimum service period. Resigning does not reduce it. Calculated on the basic wage, under Article 61, Labour Law (Royal Decree 53/2023).
300.00 days of wage × OMR 166.67 per day.
How this number is worked out
The same arithmetic the page just ran, step by step.
| Step | Value |
|---|---|
| Wage used | OMR 5,000.00 per month (basic) |
| Daily wage | OMR 166.67 = monthly ÷ 30 |
| Days earned per year | thereafter: 30 days |
| Months' wage cap | none in the law |
| Resignation reduction | none — same on resignation |
What you get after different lengths of service
On a OMR 5,000 basic wage, as a resignation.
| Years | Days earned | OMR payable |
|---|---|---|
| 1 years | 30.00 | 5,000.00 |
| 3 years | 90.00 | 15,000.00 |
| 5 years | 150.00 | 25,000.00 |
| 7 years | 210.00 | 35,000.00 |
| 10 years | 300.00 | 50,000.00 |
| 15 years | 450.00 | 75,000.00 |

The rule in plain words
You get at least one month's basic wage for every year you worked, pro-rated for part years, with no cap and no minimum service period. Resigning does not reduce it. Article 61: the employer must pay 'not less than one basic wage for each year of service', pro-rated for fractions of a year, using the last basic wage. Service before the 2023 law counts. This applies only to workers NOT covered by the Social Protection Law - the article is expressly interim, 'until the savings system under the Social Protection Law starts', and Article 48 allows an equivalent employer-funded savings programme to replace the gratuity. Read from the Ministry of Labour's official consolidated text (Arabic). The ministry publishes Royal Decree 53/2023 as the current 'Labour Law', with the gazetted PDF linked from the same page, so the new law is in force and has replaced Royal Decree 35/2003.
Frequently asked questions
- Is gratuity calculated on basic salary or total salary in Oman?
- On the basic wage only — allowances such as housing and transport are excluded. That is why a OMR 5,000 basic wage and a OMR 5,000 total package can produce very different settlements.
- Does resigning reduce my gratuity?
- In Oman, no — the same formula applies whether you resign or the employer terminates the contract.
- Does a fixed-term contract change the amount?
- The end-of-service formula applies to both limited and unlimited contracts in Oman; what changes with a fixed-term contract is the notice and the early-termination compensation, not the gratuity rate.
- Is gratuity paid on unused leave too?
- Unused annual leave is a separate entitlement and is paid out at the end of service in addition to gratuity. This calculator does not include it.
- What if my service is part of a year?
- Partial years count proportionally. At 10.0 years you have earned 300.00 days of wage.
