Annual leave fund · salary budget
Your annual leave in KWD — and how much to set aside from your salary each month until you fly
Enter travellers, fare, gifts, school fees and residency renewal at your own amount. You see the fund total and the monthly amount until your flight, plus an Excel file with your full monthly salary budget. No sign-up.
Want a reminder on each monthly saving day until you fly?
The calendar file works without an account. Reminders need a free account so we know where to send them.- In the Excel file fill the «Monthly budget» sheet — salary, allowances and spending — to see what is left after the fund.
- Apply for leave in writing and book tickets two months before you fly.
- Check passport and residency validity three months before travel.
Arithmetic only: items = quantity × amount; equal monthly saving from today to the month before the flight, the last deposit adjusts. No fees or averages are stated. Not financial advice.

Questions
What is the cost of living in Kuwait for a family?
It varies a lot with housing, school and lifestyle, so we give no averages. Enter your own numbers and the sheet adds them up and shows what is left.
How much should I save for annual leave?
Tickets, gifts and fees, minus what you have saved, divided by the months until you fly; the last deposit adjusts.
Should I include residency and health insurance fees?
Yes, as «your amount»: enter what your employer or the official bodies tell you. We do not state fees.
Is there an Excel version?
Yes: monthly budget with formulas, the leave fund, the saving plan and a chart of where the salary goes.
