What is Bonus Calculator?
Bonus Calculator helps you calculate a bonus using eligible earnings and the bonus rate you enter.
The main result is estimated gross bonus. The formula, example and assumptions below explain how to interpret it.

Understanding the Bonus result
The main output is estimated gross bonus, expressed in ₹. It applies to the inputs and operation you selected.
Displayed results use a readable number of decimal places. When checking a result by hand, keep extra precision until the last step. To compare scenarios, change one input at a time and keep the others fixed.
Bonus Calculator: assumptions and common mistakes
A useful estimate starts with the right inputs. Check the following assumptions and limits before applying the result to your situation.
- Enter the applicable statutory or contractual wage base and rate. Eligibility, wage ceilings and allocation rules are not decided by this tool.
- CTC and take-home pay describe different amounts. Use the same month or year for all salary components.
