Take-home pay calculator Kuwait
Enter your gross monthly salary to see what reaches your account after PIFSS contributions.
The contributions follow the PIFSS Taminat guide for insured Kuwaitis in the private sector.
How it's calculated
- Your share of the PIFSS funds is worked out on your salary: Basic Insurance (5%), Supplementary Insurance above KWD 1,500, Pension Increase (2.5%), Remuneration (2.5%) and Unemployment Insurance (0.5%).
- Your take-home pay is the gross salary less those contributions.
- For non-Kuwaiti employees the calculator does not apply PIFSS contributions.
An example
On KD 1,200 a month with 5 years of contributions, PIFSS takes KD 126 and your take-home pay is KD 1,074.
Frequently asked questions
Why does my deduction drop after 18 years?
The Remuneration Fund contribution of 2.5% stops once your contribution period reaches 18 years years.
Does my salary above KD 2,750 pay contributions?
No. The basic salary counts up to KWD 1,500 and the supplementary salary up to KWD 1,250 more, so pay above KWD 2,750 adds nothing.
Are other deductions included?
No. Loans, absences or other deductions in your contract are not part of this calculation.
