Last verified 3 November 2026. Written by the Uniqmont Kuwait editorial team from published sources.

Quick answer: A worker on KD 400 a month with 5 years of service gets about KD 1,154 if the employer ends the job, and about KD 769 if they resign (two-thirds). Use the tables to compare your case.

If your employer ends the job (or the contract expires)

KD 250/month	KD 288	KD 433	KD 721	KD 1,587	KD 2,163
KD 400/month	KD 462	KD 692	KD 1,154	KD 2,538	KD 3,462
KD 600/month	KD 692	KD 1,038	KD 1,731	KD 3,808	KD 5,192
KD 900/month	KD 1,038	KD 1,558	KD 2,596	KD 5,712	KD 7,788
KD 1200/month	KD 1,385	KD 2,077	KD 3,462	KD 7,615	KD 10,385

Daily wage = monthly wage / 26. 15 days of wages for each of the first 5 years, then 30 days for each year after, capped at 18 months. Resignation shares per Article 53. Estimates only.

Frequently asked questions

What is a typical end of service amount in Kuwait?

It depends on wage and service. The tables show estimates from KD 250 to KD 1,200 a month across 2 to 10 years.

Why examples are not a final settlement

End-of-service calculations can depend on the applicable employment law, wage basis, service dates, reason for termination and whether the worker is covered by a special scheme. The calculator example helps explain the method, but an employer's final settlement may also include unpaid salary, leave balance or other contractual items.

Prepare the information first

Confirm your exact start date and last working day.
Review the basic wage and any allowances included in the legal wage basis.
Keep the contract, payslips and termination or resignation notice.
Check the applicable rule and any amendments with an official Kuwait source.

Use examples to understand the calculation, not as a promise of the amount you will receive.
