The bonus pay amount is calculated using the following formula:

Bonus Pay = Gross Salary × (Bonus Percentage ÷ 100)

Where:

  • Gross Salary is your total annual salary before any deductions.
  • Bonus Percentage is the percentage of your gross salary that you are eligible to receive as a bonus.

For example, if your gross salary is $50,000 and your bonus percentage is 10%, your bonus pay would be $5,000.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Standard Bonus Calculation

Suppose you have a gross salary of $60,000 and you're eligible for a 15% bonus.

Bonus Pay = $60,000 × (15 ÷ 100) = $9,000

Your bonus pay would be $9,000.

Example 2: Higher Bonus Percentage

If you have a gross salary of $75,000 and you're eligible for a 20% bonus:

Bonus Pay = $75,000 × (20 ÷ 100) = $15,000

Your bonus pay would be $15,000.
