Oman employee cost calculator

An employee costs more than their wage, because the employer pays contributions to several Social Protection Fund branches for Omani staff.

Enter the total wage, the nationality and any other monthly costs to see the cost per month and per year.

How it's calculated

For Omani staff the employer pays 11% to the old age branch and 1% to work injuries, on a wage of up to OMR 3,000.
On the whole wage it pays 0.5% for job security, 1% for maternity leave and 1% for sick leave.
The monthly cost is the wage plus these contributions and the other costs you entered.

An example

For an Omani employee earning OMR 800 in total, employer contributions are OMR 116, so the cost is OMR 916 a month and OMR 10,992 a year.
