How to calculate your holiday bonus?

The holiday bonus can be calculated using the following formula:

Holiday Bonus Calculation:

§§ \text{Bonus} = \left( \text{Base Salary} \times \frac{\text{Bonus Percentage}}{100} \right) + \left( \text{Holiday Days} \times \left( \frac{\text{Base Salary}}{30} \right) \right) §§

where:

  • § \text{Bonus} § — total holiday bonus
  • § \text{Base Salary} § — your regular salary before bonuses
  • § \text{Bonus Percentage} § — the percentage of your base salary that you receive as a bonus
  • § \text{Holiday Days} § — the number of holiday days you take

This formula calculates your total holiday bonus by adding the bonus based on your salary and the additional amount for the holiday days taken.

Example:

  • Base Salary (§ \text{Base Salary} §): $5000
  • Bonus Percentage (§ \text{Bonus Percentage} §): 10%
  • Holiday Days (§ \text{Holiday Days} §): 5

Calculating the bonus:

  1. Calculate the bonus based on the percentage:

    • § \text{Bonus from Salary} = 5000 \times \frac{10}{100} = 500 §

  2. Calculate the bonus for holiday days:

    • § \text{Bonus from Holiday Days} = 5 \times \left( \frac{5000}{30} \right) \approx 833.33 §

  3. Total Holiday Bonus:

    • § \text{Total Bonus} = 500 + 833.33 \approx 1333.33 §
