Kuwait Indemnity Calculator
Estimate your private-sector end-of-service indemnity using your monthly wage, employment dates and reason for leaving.
Important: This calculator provides an estimated amount for general information only. It is not an official settlement or legal advice. Kuwait laws, rules and individual circumstances may affect your actual entitlement.
Enter the monthly wage you believe should be used for your indemnity calculation. The legally applicable wage can depend on your remuneration and circumstances.
Some termination circumstances require additional legal analysis. Choose “Other / I am not sure” when your situation is unclear.
Estimated amount — not an official settlement calculation.
Please verify before acting: Do not resign, accept a final settlement or sign a clearance solely on the basis of this estimate.
How the estimate is calculated
For monthly-paid employees, Article 51 provides 15 days' wage for each year of the first five years and one month's wage for each following year. A fraction of a year is calculated proportionately.
Calculation assumption: MalluKuwait currently uses a 26-working-day method to derive the estimated daily rate. Article 51 itself states the entitlement as 15 days' wage and one month's wage; this calculator remains an estimate and should be checked against your actual case.
Example — KD 500 monthly wage
Base Article 51 estimates before any applicable resignation adjustment.

Examples use the same calculation assumptions as the calculator. Actual entitlement may differ.
