How to calculate the project completion bonus?

The project completion bonus can be calculated using the following formula:

Final Bonus Calculation:

§§ \text{Final Bonus} = \left( \frac{\text{Total Project Cost} \times \text{Bonus Percentage}}{100} \right) + \text{Adjustment} §§

Where:

  • Total Project Cost is the total cost of the project.
  • Bonus Percentage is the percentage of the total cost that will be awarded as a bonus.
  • Adjustment is determined based on the completion date relative to the planned completion date.

Adjustment Calculation:

  • If the project is completed early, the bonus is increased by the early completion factor:

    §§ \text{Adjustment} = \left( \frac{\text{Bonus} \times \text{Early Completion Factor}}{100} \right) §§

  • If the project is completed late, the bonus is decreased by the late completion factor:

    §§ \text{Adjustment} = -\left( \frac{\text{Bonus} \times \text{Late Completion Factor}}{100} \right) §§

Example:

  1. Total Project Cost: $10,000
  2. Bonus Percentage: 10%
  3. Planned Completion Date: January 1, 2023
  4. Actual Completion Date: December 15, 2022 (Early Completion)
  5. Early Completion Factor: 5%
  6. Late Completion Factor: 5%

Step 1: Calculate the initial bonus:

§§ \text{Bonus} = \frac{10,000 \times 10}{100} = 1,000 §§

Step 2: Calculate the adjustment for early completion:

§§ \text{Adjustment} = \frac{1,000 \times 5}{100} = 50 §§

Step 3: Calculate the final bonus:

§§ \text{Final Bonus} = 1,000 + 50 = 1,050 §§
