Oman overtime pay calculator

Overtime is work done outside the set working hours, which are 8 hours a day and 40 hours a week.

Enter your basic wage, the type of overtime and the hours or days worked to see what it is worth.

When the overtime was worked

Eight hours in the law, and six hours for Muslim workers in Ramadan.

The Labour Law does not say how to work out a day's pay. Enter what your contract says. If it says nothing, the calculator assumes 30 days.

How it's calculated

  1. Basic hourly wage = monthly basic wage ÷ days per month ÷ normal hours per day.
  2. A daytime overtime hour = hourly wage + 25%, and a night hour = hourly wage + 50%.
  3. Work on a rest day or public holiday: an amount equal to 100% of the basic daily wage, on top of that day's pay.
  4. Where the law allows overtime without the worker's consent, the premium rises to 50% by day, 75% at night and 200% on rest days and holidays.

An example

A worker on a basic wage of OMR 480 working 8 hours a day earns OMR 2 an hour, so ten daytime overtime hours are worth OMR 25 and ten night hours OMR 30.
