Hi Chezhian,

If your gross salary is R.O. 425/- per month, then what will be the net salary in hand that you will be getting ?

Whatever is the amount, multiply it by 140 (which is about the current exchange rate). If the amount that shows up on the calculator is less than what you're making in India then don't come. If not, you know what to do !

The main benefit and advantage of earning in Oman is that you will be paying no part of your salary back as tax to the government, unlike in India.

For a bachelor the amount that you've quoted above is not too bad, especially when your company provides for your accommodation.

Good luck !
