Frequently Asked Questions — Oman Social Protection Fund (أسئلة شائعة)
What is the Social Protection Fund (SPF) in Oman?
The Social Protection Fund (SPF - صندوق الحماية الاجتماعية) was established by Royal Decree No. 52/2023 to replace the Public Authority for Social Insurance (PASI) and separate public sector retirement bodies with a unified, modern pension and social insurance institution governing all workers across the private, civil, and military sectors in Oman.
What are the statutory contribution rates under the Oman Social Protection Law?
For Omani employees, the statutory contribution is 8.0% of the insured monthly contributory wage (7.5% for elderly, disability, and death pension insurance plus 0.5% for the Job Security System). The employer contributes 15.0% (11.5% for pension, 0.5% for job security, 1.0% for work injuries, 1.0% for sick and emergency leave, and 1.0% for the maternity insurance branch), making the total monthly SPF contribution 23.0%.
What is the maximum salary ceiling for SPF pension contributions in Oman?
Under Royal Decree No. 52/2023, the monthly contributory wage ceiling for SPF calculations is capped at OMR 3,000 per month. Any portion of an employee's comprehensive monthly wage that exceeds OMR 3,000 is exempt from statutory SPF deductions.
Are expatriate workers subject to Social Protection Fund (SPF) contributions?
Expatriate employees are currently not enrolled in the mandatory old-age retirement pension branch of SPF and do not have the 8.0% employee deduction withheld from their pay. Instead, expatriates remain covered by statutory End of Service Gratuity (EOSG) under Article 61 of the New Labour Law (Royal Decree 53/2023: one full month basic wage per year). Employers pay statutory work injury and maternity levies into SPF for all workers.
What universal non-contributory grants does SPF provide to Omani families?
The Social Protection Law established two key universal grants for Omani citizens:
• Universal Child Benefit: OMR 10 per month for every Omani child from birth until age 18.
• Elderly Benefit: OMR 115 per month for every Omani citizen aged 60 and above, regardless of employment status.
