How this Bonus Calculator works
Illustrative bonus = bonus-eligible salary × (bonus % ÷ 100) × months covered. Payment of Bonus Act discusses minimum bonus (often 8.33%) and eligibility wage ceilings — applicability depends on establishment coverage and accounting year.
How to use
- Enter salary used for bonus (often basic + DA capped per statute).
- Set bonus percentage (8.33% is a common statutory reference point).
- Specify months covered in the bonus accounting period.
- Separate statutory bonus from discretionary performance bonus in communications.
