About these currencies
The Kenyan Shilling (KES) is the currency of Kenya.
The Kuwaiti dinar (KWD) is divided into 1,000 fils and is often cited as the highest-valued currency unit in the world, so amounts in KWD are usually much smaller than the same value in most other currencies.
When you compare KES and KWD amounts
- Use the reference rate here to sense-check a salary offer, a bill or a payment quoted in another currency.
- Check whether the rate you are offered includes fees or a margin.
- For transfers, compare the final amount received and the delivery time.
- Rates move during the day; the timestamp shows the latest update.
Planning for Kuwait with Kenyan Shilling amounts
Mobile money is widely used in Kenya, so many transfers can be paid straight into a mobile wallet as well as a bank account. Confirm the payout option and the fee with your provider before you send.
Salaries, rent and bills in Kuwait are quoted in dinars, and the dinar has three decimal places (1 KWD = 1,000 fils). If you are weighing a job offer or planning a move, convert the monthly figure here, then compare the full package with the salary offer comparison and the budget planner. A converted salary can look larger than it is: rent, transport and remittance fees come out before you save.
