Combining Salary and Bonus
Total cash compensation can be estimated by adding base salary and the eligible bonus amount for the same period. If the bonus is expressed as a percentage, first apply it to the correct salary base.
Separate guaranteed base pay from target or performance-dependent bonus when comparing offers or budgets. A target bonus is not always the amount ultimately paid, and taxes or deductions affect take-home cash. Use gross figures for compensation comparisons and document whether the bonus is target, earned or maximum.
