End-of-service calculator: Bahrain
Work out years of service, an end-of-service gratuity by days of basic salary per year, and unused annual leave paid out.
Enter the figures and press Calculate: the breakdown shows here, with the rules used.
Results are estimates for planning only, not legal, tax or payroll advice. Rates marked "estimate" are published figures Mihnaro has not confirmed; check them with the country’s tax authority, its social security body or your accountant, and your employment contract. Each rule shows its source.

Needed: SIO’s contribution rates for expatriates (including unemployment insurance) and the Labour Law’s hours and overtime.
