Bonus Calculation
Calculate an employee bonus as a percentage of salary and the resulting total compensation. Enter the base salary and the bonus percentage to see the bonus amount and the combined total.
Formula
Bonus = Salary × Bonus%; Total = Salary + Bonus
- The bonus is the base salary multiplied by the bonus percentage.
- Total compensation adds that bonus on top of the base salary.
- Enter the bonus rate as a plain percentage — for example, 20 for a 20% bonus.
- This shows gross figures; actual take-home pay depends on taxes and deductions in your jurisdiction.

Is the bonus added to my salary?
Yes. Total compensation is your base salary plus the bonus amount.
Are these figures before or after tax?
They are gross amounts. Bonuses are often taxed, so your net bonus will be lower depending on local tax rules.
