Kuwait end-of-service indemnity calculator

How it works

Enter your last monthly wage, years of service, how you were paid and why the job ended. Based on Kuwait Private Sector Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 (Articles 51–53).

The formula

Day's pay = monthly wage ÷ 26. Monthly-paid workers get 15 days' pay for each of the first 5 years and one month's pay for each year after, capped at 18 months' pay. On resignation: nothing under 3 years, half from 3 to 5, two thirds from 5 to 10, full after 10.

Worked example

Wage 600 KWD, 8 years, contract ended by the employer: first 5 years = 5 × 15 × 600 ÷ 26 = 1,730.77; next 3 years = 3 × 600 = 1,800; total 3,530.77 KWD. If the worker resigned, two thirds: 2,353.85 KWD.
