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.
Voluntary retirement age

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