Kuwait Indemnity Calculation Formula
The Kuwait indemnity calculation formula helps monthly-paid private-sector employees estimate their end-of-service benefits. This is the standard method under Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010, Article 51.

For example, an employee who has completed 5 full years of service can calculate 75 days’ remuneration (15 days x 5 years) as the base, before considering any applicable resignation rules or other adjustments.
| Service Period | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| First 5 years | 15 days’ remuneration per year | Applies from the start date of employment |
| After 5 years | 1 month’s remuneration per year | Applies for each year beyond the first 5 years |
| Partial years | Proportionate share | Calculated based on days worked |
| Maximum limit | 18 months’ remuneration | Under Article 51, the total is generally capped at one and a half years |
The daily wage is usually calculated by dividing the monthly wage by 26, as Kuwait treats a working month as 26 days. Some employers use 30 days instead. You should check your employment contract to see which method is used.

Salary Details
Your salary is one of the most important factors when calculating your end-of-service indemnity in Kuwait. Under Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010, indemnity is calculated on the basic salary, not on the gross salary that includes housing and transport allowances.
If your payslip shows Basic KWD 750 + Housing KWD 200 + Transport KWD 100, you should enter KWD 750 in the calculator. If your contract does not separate basic from allowances, enter your full contractual wage.
Length of Service
The total period you have worked for your employer affects your indemnity amount. The calculation is based on the number of full years of service, and partial years are calculated proportionately.
For example, if you have worked for 5 years and 7 months, the first 5 years are calculated at 15 days per year, and the extra 7 months are calculated proportionately for the additional year.
Reason for Leaving Your Job
Your reason for leaving, such as resignation or completion of your contract, may affect your entitlement under the applicable rules. The outcome can differ depending on whether your job ended because of employer termination or employee resignation.
The calculator supports only specified resignation scenarios. For a complete final settlement, you should check your contract and speak with your employer or a qualified professional.
Check Your Estimated Indemnity
After entering the required details, use the Kuwait Indemnity Calculator to estimate your end-of-service benefits. You can use this estimate to plan your finances before leaving your current job.
The estimate is not legal advice and does not guarantee the exact amount your employer will pay. It is a guide to help you understand what you may receive.

Kuwait Indemnity for Resignation
Resignation can affect the amount of end-of-service indemnity payable under Kuwait labour law. Article 53 addresses resignation from indefinite-term contracts and links the entitlement to the employee’s length of service.
The general entitlement is reduced for employees with shorter service and increases with longer service. The applicable rules distinguish between service periods of three to five years, five to ten years, and ten years or more.
These resignation provisions do not apply in the same way to every employment situation. Fixed-term contracts, the reason employment ends, and other applicable legal provisions can affect the amount payable. Check the rules relevant to your contract before making a final decision.
