Barbados paternity benefit calculator 2026

Since June 2025 an insured father in Barbados can claim a paternity benefit from the National Insurance Scheme. NISSS pays 100% of average insurable weekly earnings for 3 weeks weeks.

Type in your average insurable weekly earnings. The calculator limits them to the weekly ceiling and shows the weekly amount and the total.

How it's calculated

  1. Insurable earnings: your average weekly earnings, up to the NIS weekly ceiling of Bds$1,238.
  2. Weekly benefit: 100% of your average insurable weekly earnings, as stated on the NISSS paternity benefit page.
  3. Number of weeks: 3 weeks, the period the page sets for the benefit. It has applied since 1 June 2025.
  4. Total: the weekly benefit multiplied by those weeks. NISSS tests the claim against its contribution and relationship conditions.

An example

A warehouse supervisor averages Bds$800 of insurable earnings a week. His benefit is Bds$800.00 a week, so three weeks pay Bds$2,400.00. A manager earning Bds$2,000 a week is treated as earning the Bds$1,238 ceiling, so his three weeks pay Bds$3,714.00.
