Under Article 51 of the Kuwait Labour Law (Law No. 6 of 2010), end-of-service indemnity accrues at 15 days’ wage for each of the first five years of service, then a full month’s wage for every year beyond five. The daily wage is normally the monthly salary divided by 30, though a 26 working-day basis is sometimes used.
On resignation, the indemnity is scaled by total service: nothing under three years, one-half between three and five years, two-thirds between five and ten years, and the full amount from ten years onward.
Both examples assume a KWD 800 monthly salary and a contract ended by the employer.
Basic vs gross salary. Indemnity is generally calculated on the salary used in your contract. Where allowances form part of the agreed wage, they may be included — check your contract terms.
