≈ QAR 324,000 gross a year
At a median QAR 27,000/month, contract work grosses about QAR 324,000 a year over 12 months, 23% more than the QAR 264,000 permanent median. That premium has to pay for what an employer would otherwise cover: paid holiday and sick days, end-of-service gratuity, and the gaps between contracts.

Yes, for expatriates. Qatar has no personal income tax on employment salaries for Qatari nationals or expatriates, so a Scrum Master / Agile Coach earning the median QAR22K/mo takes home the full QAR 264,000 per year (QAR 22,000 per month) as an expatriate.

Gratuity is a lump sum your employer owes on exit under Article 54 of Qatar Labour Law, based on basic salary and years of service: not less than three weeks' basic wage for every year of service, uncapped.

No. Gratuity is an employer-funded benefit that accrues separately and is paid as a lump sum when you leave, it is not deducted from your monthly salary the way tax or social security is in other markets.
