Just curious.

What are some of you folks' past bonus amounts?
Or, some folks you know.....

I'm trying to keep myself grounded with expectations when it is revealed this week.

This differs so much from person to person and the industry they are in. You won't get anything meaningful from this thread.

Mine will be between $2,500 - $4,000 probably.

Mileage will vary, based upon many different business factors, including your position within the company.

My wife's bonus last year was just over $24K. Mine? Zero.

My target is 25% and this year was so good we are at target + 10%. 35% bonus will be the best I have ever received. Just three years ago, I got $0.

My company is such a bunch of assholes that they still haven't even formally released the qualifications for 2014 bonus to us yet. It's fricking December 2nd. How much do you want to bet that they've had finance poring over the numbers coming up with a formula and stipulations that require them to pay the least amount possible?

Target is 10% of base, but my company can choose a funding percentage based on company performance. 2011 and 2012 were in the 80's IIRC, but last year was fully funded. This year will be fully funded as well.

I will be over my target so I'm looking at around 12% of base this year.

4 Quarterly bonuses are typically 3-5% of salary and end of year bonus is about 20%.

This of course depends on how well the company is doing.
