YOGYAKARTA - Ahead of the Eid al-Fitr celebration, the government has set a number of economic policies, one of which is related to the provision of Eid Allowance (THR) and Eid Bonus (BHR). This policy aims to help improve the welfare of the community, especially workers and business partners. So, what is the difference between THR and BHR?
To be noted, for the payment of the 2026 Eid al-Fitr THR, the government has prepared a budget of Rp. 55 trillion. This amount has increased by about 10 percent compared to the realization of the previous year which was recorded at Rp. 49 trillion.
On the other hand, the budget allocated for the Eid Bonus (BHR) in 2026 ranges from IDR 100 billion to IDR 110 billion. This value has increased more than twofold compared to last year which was in the range of IDR 50 billion.
What is the difference between THR and BHR?Summarized from various sources, here are some of the differences between THR and BHR that you need to know:
ObligationEid bonus (THR) is an additional income outside of salary that must be given by the company to workers or laborers before religious holidays. THR is one of the workers' rights that has been regulated in the labor regulations in Indonesia.
The provisions regarding THR are contained in the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower of the Republic of Indonesia Number 6 of 2016 concerning Religious Holiday Allowance for Workers / Workers in Companies. In the rules it is explained that the company must pay THR to employees who have worked for at least one month continuously.
The amount of THR is usually equivalent to one month's salary for workers who have worked for one year or more. Meanwhile, for workers with less than one year of work, the amount of THR is calculated proportionally according to the work period.
Meanwhile, the Raya Bonus alias BHR is a bonus given by the application company to online driver and courier partners who are officially registered on the platform.
Unlike THR, which must be given by the company to employees, BHR is not mandatory because the employment relationship between the application company and the partner is usually in the form of a partnership, not a formal employment relationship.
CalculationThe Eid allowance is usually calculated based on salary and work experience. Meanwhile, the provision of BHR is based on performance and length of service.
Based on the Circular of the Minister of Manpower Number M/4/HK.04.00/III/2026, the calculation of BHR is generally based on the performance of the partner in the last 12 months.
RecipientReligious THR is given to workers/workers who have a working relationship with employers based on an agreement for work of indefinite duration or a fixed-term work agreement.
At BHR, the Eid bonus is given by the application company to online driver and courier partners who are officially registered on the platform.
BHR is given based on the company's policy and usually considers the performance of partners in a certain period.
