Based on Oman Royal Decree No. 53 of 2023 (Labour Law), Article 78
Quick answer
In Oman, unused annual leave is paid out on your gross (comprehensive) wage — basic salary plus fixed allowances: encashment = (gross monthly wage ÷ 30) × unused leave days. Annual-leave entitlement is 30 days a year, which is 2.5 days for each month of service, earned in proportion to the time you work (Oman Labour Law, Royal Decree 53/2023, Art. 78). This differs from Oman’s end-of-service gratuity, which is calculated on the basic wage only.

What "leave salary" means in Oman
"Leave salary" is the pay attached to your annual leave. Most people calculating it want the cash value of leave they did not take, paid out when their job ends — leave encashment.
Under the 2023 Labour Law, annual leave in Oman is paid on the comprehensive (gross) wage, so basic salary plus fixed allowances are both included. This is a key difference from the end-of-service gratuity, which Oman restricts to the basic wage. When you leave with leave still owing, that balance is settled on the gross wage.
How much annual leave you accrue
- •30 calendar days of annual leave a year — 2.5 days for each completed month of service.
- •Leave is earned in proportion to service, so a partial year still builds a proportional balance.
- •You may retain an unused balance of up to 30 days to carry forward, unless leave was withheld in the interest of work.
How leave encashment is calculated
- 1
Find your accrued leave
Multiply 2.5 by your completed months of service.
- 2
Subtract leave already taken
Deduct the annual-leave days you have used to get your unused balance.
- 3
Work out the daily wage
Divide your gross monthly wage (basic + allowances) by 30.
- 4
Multiply
Unused days × daily gross wage = your leave encashment.
Worked examples
OMR 500 basic + 100 allowances, 2 years, 10 days taken
- Accrued: 2.5 × 24 months = 60 days
- Unused: 60 − 10 = 50 days
- Daily wage: (500 + 100) ÷ 30 = OMR 20
- 50 × 20 = OMR 1,000
OMR 800 gross, 4 years, 0 days taken
- Accrued: 2.5 × 48 months = 120 days
- Daily wage: 800 ÷ 30 = OMR 26.67
- 120 × 26.67 = OMR 3,200
