At-a-glance summary — enter your own figures in the calculator above for an exact, year-by-year breakdown.
Do I get indemnity if I resign?
Under 3 years, no. From 3 years you get a reduced share — half at 3–5 years, two-thirds at 5–10 years, and the full amount at 10+ years.
Is there a termination bonus?
No. There is no 1.5× or extra 50% for termination. Termination simply pays your full indemnity with no resignation reduction.
What if my employer has not paid?
File a complaint with the Kuwait Public Authority of Manpower (PAM). Keep all employment records and payslips as evidence.
In Kuwait, the end-of-service payment is called the indemnity(مكافأة نهاية الخدمة). Under Article 51 of Private Sector Labour Law No. 6 of 2010, a monthly-paid worker earns 15 days of wage for each of the first five years of service and a full month's wage for every year after that. The total is capped at 1.5 years' wage (18 months). This calculator uses basic salary only (the common practice) and a monthly ÷ 30 daily rate.
Two rules catch people out. First, resignation is reduced: you get nothing under three years, half from three to five, two-thirds from five to ten, and the full amount only at ten years or more. Second, there is no termination “bonus” — termination, contract expiry, and mutual agreement simply pay the full indemnity with no reduction (an earlier version of this page wrongly described a 1.5× multiplier; Kuwait law has no such rule). Read the full legal basis on our methodology page.
All examples use a basic salary of KWD 600 a month, giving a daily rate of KWD 600 ÷ 30 = KWD 20.
Example 1 — 4 years, resigned
Example 2 — 7 years, resigned
Example 3 — 7 years, terminated
Example 4 — 22 years, terminated (cap applies)
Enter your own basic salary, dates and reason for leaving in the calculator above for an exact figure with a year-by-year breakdown.
How is the daily rate worked out?
This calculator divides your monthly basic salary by 30, then multiplies by the indemnity days earned (15 per year for years 1–5, 30 per year after that). Many Kuwait employers instead use a 26-day working month (monthly ÷ 26), which gives a higher daily wage — check which basis your employer uses.
Is there really no termination bonus?
Correct. Kuwait law has no 1.5× or extra-50% rule for termination. Termination simply means you keep the full indemnity with none of the resignation reductions applied.
Are partial years counted?
Yes. Service beyond complete years is paid pro-rata — counted as days worked divided by 365, at the rate applying to that period.
Does the indemnity include my allowances?
This tool uses basic salary only, the common Kuwait practice. Article 51 can be read more broadly to include regular allowances, so if your contract settles on full pay, enter that figure instead.
