Calculation Examples

Example (1):


An insured person with an average wage over the last two years of OMR 822.024 per month:

  • Daily benefit (first 6 months):
    (822.024 × 60%) ÷ 30 = OMR 16.440 per day
    = OMR 493.214 per month (if entitled for the full month)
  • Daily benefit (next 3 months):
    (822.024 × 50%) ÷ 30 = OMR 13.700 per day
    = OMR 411.020 per month (if entitled for the full month)
  • Daily benefit (final 3 months):
    (822.024 × 40%) ÷ 30 = OMR 10.690 per day
    = OMR 328.809 per month (if entitled for the full month)

Example (2):


An insured person with an average wage over the last two years of OMR 250 per month:

  • Daily benefit (first 6 months):
    (250 × 60%) ÷ 30 = OMR 5.000 per day
    = OMR 150 per month
  • Daily benefit (next 3 months):
    (250 × 50%) ÷ 30 = OMR 4.166 per day
    = OMR 125 per month
  • Daily benefit (final 3 months):
    (250 × 40%) ÷ 30 = OMR 3.333 per day
