Salary ceiling
Is there a cap on SPF contributions?
The situation
Pension and work injury branches use a wage ceiling of OMR 3,000 a month.
The law
- Social Protection Law, Royal Decree 52/2023: Omani staff: employer 14.5 percent, employee 8 percent; ceiling OMR 3,000 for pension and injury; pay by the 15th of next month
What it means for you
Pension and work injury contributions use a ceiling of OMR 3,000 a month; job security and leave branches have no ceiling. For an Omani on OMR 4,000, pension is computed on OMR 3,000. Check each branch's base.
What to do
- Apply the OMR 3,000 ceiling to pension and injury.
- Compute other branches on full wage.
- Pay by the 15th.
- Review when wages change.
