Kuwait EOSB Calculator 2026

How is Kuwait EOSB calculated in 2026?

Your daily rate is basic salary × 12 ÷ 365. For each of the first five years you earn 15 days of that rate per year; after five years you earn 30 days per year. The total cannot exceed 18 months of basic salary. You need at least one complete year of service to qualify.

Does Kuwait EOSB include allowances?

This isn't fully settled. Most sources describe Kuwait EOSB as calculated on basic salary only, with housing, transport, and other allowances excluded from the daily rate under Articles 51–54 — but this isn't confirmed by an independently verifiable primary source, and some readings of the law's broader 'remuneration' definition apply more widely. Confirm your specific case with PAM or a labour lawyer.

What is the maximum EOSB in Kuwait?

Total end-of-service indemnity is capped at 18 months of your basic salary, regardless of how many years you have worked.

Do I get EOSB if I resign in Kuwait?

It depends on your years of service. Under Article 53 of Labour Law No. 6 of 2010, resigning before completing 3 years forfeits your indemnity entirely. From 3 to 5 years you receive half of the full award, from 5 to 10 years two-thirds, and after 10 years you receive the full amount — identical to termination. Termination itself is unaffected by these brackets: a terminated employee receives the full Article 51 award after just 1 year of service.

When must the employer pay EOSB in Kuwait?

The employer must pay your end-of-service indemnity as part of your final settlement when the employment contract ends, together with any other lawful entitlements owed to you.

Can my employer reduce my Kuwait EOSB?

Only lawful deductions are permitted — for example, amounts you owe the employer under the law or a court order. Your employer cannot make arbitrary or unexplained reductions to your indemnity.

What is the minimum service to qualify for Kuwait EOSB?

You must complete at least one full year of continuous service. If you leave before completing one year, you are not entitled to any end-of-service indemnity under Kuwait Labour Law.

Is Kuwait indemnity calculated on basic salary or total salary?

This isn't fully settled. Most sources describe Kuwait indemnity as calculated on basic salary only, with housing allowance, transport allowance, and other benefits excluded under Articles 51–54 — but this isn't confirmed by an independently verifiable primary source. Confirm your specific case with PAM or a labour lawyer before relying on either reading.
