Kuwait Indemnity Calculator 2026 (EOSB)

About Kuwait Indemnity (EOSB) Law

Kuwait's end-of-service indemnity is governed by Labour Law No. 6 of 2010, Articles 51–53 (private sector). The law establishes a two-tier accrual system: 15 days' salary per year for the first 5 years, rising to 30 days' salary per year for each year beyond 5. Daily salary is calculated by dividing the monthly basic wage by 26 (not 30), and total indemnity is capped at 18 months' salary.

Resignation triggers significant penalties: employees who resign before completing 3 years receive nothing. Those with 3–5 years receive 50% of the base entitlement. The 5–10 year band yields two-thirds, and only resignation after 10+ years entitles the employee to the full amount. Termination without cause — or expiry of a fixed-term contract — always pays the full entitlement regardless of service length.
