Oman take-home pay calculator 2026

Calculated with 2026 rules for a single, full-time employee whose salary is their only income.

Income tax rates in Oman 2026

Oman does not tax employees' salaries in 2026. The only possible deduction is a social insurance or pension contribution, which can differ between nationals and expats.

Social insurance rates

Worked example

An expat employee earning 1,000 Omani rials a month, 12,000 a year:

• There is no income tax on salaries in Oman in 2026. Personal income tax (5% on income above 42,000 rials a year) starts on 1 January 2028.
• Nothing is deducted from a non-Omani's salary in 2026. The work injury branch for non-Omanis is deferred to July 2028, and the savings scheme (9% of basic pay, paid by the employer) starts on a date set by the Social Protection Fund board before July 2027; it is not calculated here.
