Calculate your pension

Last updated on May 13th, 2026

Use this tool to estimate your public sector pension. You can choose between a full pension or a reduced pension.

The tool will show you:

  • an estimated monthly pension amount
  • an estimated gratuity (lump sum)

This is an estimate only. Your actual pension depends on records held by the Personnel Administration Division (PAD) and your last employer.

What you'll need

  • your total months of pensionable service
  • your last annual salary in Barbados dollars (BDS$)

Contact the PAD or your last employer to confirm both figures.

Before you start

  • No-pay leave does not count towards your pensionable service.
  • Temporary continuous workers with 10 years or fewer of service who leave during that period will not receive a pension.

If you qualify for both a National Insurance pension and a government pension, you will receive only the higher of the two — not both.
