Overtime pay in Kuwait
Under Articles 66-68 of Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010, each overtime hour is paid at the basic hourly wage plus a premium that depends on when you work:
| When | Overtime hour pays |
|---|---|
| Working days | 125% of the basic hourly wage |
| Weekly rest day | 150% of the basic hourly wage |
| Public holiday | 200% of the basic hourly wage |
The calculator takes the basic hourly wage as basic salary ÷ 30 ÷ daily hours. Working on your rest day also earns you a substitute day off.
Estimate only; your contract may pay more.
