How to calculate your total bonus?

The total bonus can be calculated using the following formula:

Total Bonus (B) is calculated as:

§§ B = \left( \text{Base Salary} \times \frac{\text{Bonus Percentage}}{100} \right) \times \text{Duration} §§

where:

  • § B § — total bonus
  • § \text{Base Salary} § — your base salary
  • § \text{Bonus Percentage} § — the percentage of the base salary that you will receive as a bonus
  • § \text{Duration} § — the time period (in months) for which the bonus is calculated

This formula allows you to determine how much bonus you will receive based on your salary and the percentage set by your employer.

Example:

  • Base Salary (§ \text{Base Salary} §): $50,000
  • Bonus Percentage (§ \text{Bonus Percentage} §): 10%
  • Duration (§ \text{Duration} §): 12 months

Total Bonus:

§§ B = \left( 50000 \times \frac{10}{100} \right) \times 12 = 60000 §$
