Minimumloon (bruto)

Bron: Wikipedia "Kuwaiti minimum wage", cross-checked with Gulf News and multiple EOR/payroll guides (Playroll, employsome) · geldig vanaf 1 jan 2017

Standard adult full-time private-sector tier chosen: KWD 75/month, applying equally to Kuwaiti nationals and expatriates (unlike Oman/Bahrain). This is the most widely cited rate and the tier covering the largest general workforce. Published as a MONTHLY figure only, so basis=converted_from_monthly; weekly_hours_used=48 per Kuwait Labour Law No. 6 of 2010 (8 hrs/day, 6-day week). A separate lower floor of KWD 60/month applies to domestic workers under Domestic Workers Law No. 68 of 2015. Effective date is approximate: set by ministerial decision around 2016-2017 (initially 60 KWD, raised to 75 KWD) and unchanged since; exact day/decree number not found in an official primary source. Important caveat: no accessible Kuwaiti government (PAM/Ministry) primary page was located, and some analyses argue Kuwait lacks a TRUE universal statutory private-sector minimum, with 75 KWD functioning as a benchmark/floor rather than a codified universal rate (the only clearly codified floor being the domestic-worker rate). Pending (not enacted as of early 2026) proposals would set a KWD 800/month floor for Kuwaiti nationals and raise the domestic-worker floor to KWD 120. Confidence medium due to absence of a primary government citation. All figures in local currency KWD.
