Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatuh
 
The duration of Iddat for Khula is the same as for Talaq (Divorce), 3 menstrual cycles. Rasulullah (sallallaho alayhi wasallam) has stated: Khula is a Talaq Baain (Irrevocable Divorce regarding its effect on the marriage and its laws of Iddat etc). HIDAYAH Pg 404/2.
