Installments assume 20% down over 5 years at 3.59% (reducing) — the terms behind the monthly price on every YallaMotor listing, so each car here matches its card. A bank may quote you differently: try the car finance calculator.

Cars that fit OMR 300 a month

Comfortably within your budget — 60–90% of your installment share.

The results are estimates for guidance only, based on the salary you enter and standard finance terms. Actual installments, running costs and finance approvals depend on the car, the lender and your circumstances.

How to find a car that fits your salary

  1. Enter your monthly salary

    Your net monthly income — nothing else is asked for or stored.

  2. We set your car budget

    We keep total car costs to 20% of your salary — installment, fuel, service and maintenance included.

  3. We show cars that fit

    That budget goes through the same split and tiers as the affordability calculator, so you see real cars that fit.

Why 20% of your salary?

Your salary has to cover rent, food, savings and everything else before a car. A car that takes 20% of it — installment, fuel, service and maintenance together — stays comfortable when a bill comes in or the rate changes. Above that, the car starts deciding the rest of your budget.

Three numbers to know

  • 20%

    of net salary

    What we recommend

    Every monthly car cost together — the installment, fuel, service and maintenance — at or below 20% of what you take home.

  • 50%

    of income, all loans

    What banks in Oman allow

    Lenders cap your total monthly repayments — car, personal loans and cards — at about 50% of income. That is a ceiling for approval, not a budget for living.

  • —

    minimum salary

    To finance a car in Oman

    Banks assess income case by case rather than publishing a fixed minimum salary for car finance.

Frequently asked questions

How much of my salary should go on a car?

A widely used guideline is to keep every car cost — the installment, fuel, service and maintenance — at or below 20% of your net monthly salary. That is the rule this tool applies: it takes 20% of the salary you enter as your total monthly car budget, then finds cars that fit it.

What car can I afford on my salary in Oman?

For example, on a net salary of OMR 1,500 a month the tool sets a car budget of OMR 300 and shows cars whose estimated installment fits the finance share of it. Enter your own salary above to see the cars for your income.

Is 20% the same as what banks allow?

No. Banks in Oman cap your total monthly repayments — car, personal loans and cards together — as a share of your income, and that cap is well above 20%. The 20% rule is about affording the car comfortably, not the maximum a lender would approve.

How is this different from the car affordability calculator?

The affordability calculator starts from a monthly car budget you choose. This tool starts one step earlier — from your salary — and chooses that budget for you with the 20% rule. From there both tools work the same way: the budget is split between the installment, fuel and maintenance, and real listings on YallaMotor are matched to it.

What if my salary is below what banks require?

Banks in Oman usually set a minimum monthly salary for car finance. The tool still calculates your budget and shows cars — you may need a larger down payment, a cheaper car, or to buy outright.

Is my salary stored or shared?

No. It is only used to calculate the budget in your browser; nothing is stored, shared or sent to any lender.

Can I link straight to the cars for my salary?

Yes. Add salary (your monthly net salary) to the page address. The page opens with your car budget and the cars that fit it already worked out, and the address follows your changes, so you can copy it and share it. For example: https://oman.yallamotor.com/tools/salary-to-car?salary=1500
