It seems you can leave at-will via the kingdom window. Kingdom window > Leave Kingdom.

Leaving the contract penalizes you as though you ended a vassalship (every single lord in the faction hates you), making mercenary contracts essentially vassalship-lite with all of the cons and none of the pros. Contracts are supposed to expire so that you can move on to another kingdom or your own kingdom without inciting the wrath of the kingdom you were contracted to.
Yeah, I'm not sure if this is a bug or a feature but I was pretty upset with the result as I had to leave the nords because you can't enter Sea Raider camps with the current build

Yeah this is probably the single worst problem I have with the game right now. I liked playing as a Merc up until I was ready to start my own kingdom without ever swearing allegiance to any other ruler.
Having this same issue with Battania. I became a mercenary and the contract has not ended after 100+ days. Leaving the kingdom or asking the king to be released results in clan relation dropping as if I dropped vassalage.

Yeah, the dialogue options for breaking the contract are the same as breaking vassalage and even use the word "vassalage" along with incuring all the same hefty relationship penalties.

I am bumping this because I am having the same issue (as is everyone because the mercenary feature is obviously broken). This is not listed as a known problem by the devs though which is quite frustrating to me. This is a MAJOR feature of the game and it is just so obviously messed up. Something about the pay for being a merc is obviously working, I am rich, but I'm not sure where a lot of my money is coming from. Can I track minor events like income like I could in Warband?
How do you not catch that there is no way out of a mercenary contract without making the faction hate you... OK, fine, you missed it, embarrassing but understandable. Its the fact that they still haven't added it to the known bug list. This isn't a single broken quest that you can break if you do just the right thing. Its a massive feature of the game!
I really am loving the game as a whole. The lack of awareness of such a large problem does concern me as to the future of the game, though.

I want to know why this isn't in the list of known issues by now. Seems to me to be a pretty major one considering how viable mercenary work is for progression.
