About these currencies
The South African Rand (ZAR) is the currency of South Africa.
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 ZAR 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 South African Rand amounts
The South African rand floats freely and can be volatile, so the dinar value can swing more than for pegged currencies. This pair is used mainly for travel, study and business.
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.
