Measure performance: Evaluate the employee's performance against the predefined criteria over the specified period (e.g., annually or quarterly). Apply the formula: Use a formula to calculate the bonus based on the employee's performance. This may involve multiplying the performance metric by the bonus percentage.
Executives receive higher bonuses that can multiply based on performance, while most employees earn bonuses equal to 1% to 5% of their overall salary.
A common structure is tiered bonuses. Here, employees can achieve different "levels" of bonuses based on their performance metrics. For instance, reaching 80% of a target might secure a smaller bonus, while achieving 120% may earn a significantly larger one.
How to write a bonus request letter Draft the structure of your letter. State why you're requesting the bonus. Provide evidence for why you're requesting the bonus. Invite the supervisor to discuss the bonus with you further. Proofread your letter before you deliver it.
If you're asking for a bonus for a specific project, provide facts and figures about the outcome of the project and how it exceeded the stakeholders' requirements. If you're asking for a bonus for more general reasons, offer details about why you deserve it.
A bonus, or performance bonus, is a form of additional compensation given to employees beyond their base salary to recognize and reward their hard work, contributions, and the achievement of specific company goals or objectives.
Thank you so much for my performance bonus. I really appreciate your generosity and having my hard work acknowledged. I feel so fortunate to work for a company that encourages its employees to keep meeting new goals and gives them the support and tools to do so.
Start with “We are pleased to announce,” setting a positive tone. Detail the specifics of the bonus, ensuring clarity. Express gratitude for the hard work and dedication of the employees. At the end of the letter, encourage them to celebrate their achievements.

Be straightforward, be sincere and don't be afraid to ``toot your own horn''. Be respectful and let them know how much you love your job and what you do. Then, simply ask for your bonus (or raise). You can either leave out the amount, or if you do state an amount, be ready to negotiate.
