What will my sales bonus actually be?

For reps on threshold bonus plans: paid quarterly on year-to-date attainment, nothing below a floor, capped at 100% in-year, with commission on revenue over goal at year end.

The short answer: your year-to-date bonus = annual target × (quarters elapsed ÷ 4) × attainment, if you're between 50% and 100%. Below 50% it's $0. This quarter pays that amount minus what you've already been paid. Over-goal pay usually waits until year end.

How threshold sales bonus plans really pay

How is a quarterly bonus calculated on cumulative attainment?

Divide year-to-date revenue by year-to-date goal. Year-to-date bonus earned = annual target × (quarters elapsed ÷ 4) × payout %. This quarter pays that, minus what you've already received. At an $80,000 target in Q2 at 75%, you've earned $30,000; after a $12,000 Q1 payment, Q2 pays $18,000.

What happens below 50% of goal?

On a plan with a 50% floor, you get $0. Crossing the floor pays half your period target at once, so the deal that takes you from 49% to 50% is usually the most valuable of the quarter.

Do I get paid more for beating quota mid-year?

Usually not until year end. In-year payouts often stop at 100% of target, and commission on revenue over goal is calculated after the fiscal year closes, on full-year results.

Is my accelerator actually an accelerator?

Divide your annual target by your annual goal. That's what each dollar pays below goal. If it's higher than your over-goal commission rate, overperforming pays less per dollar. An $80,000 target on an $800,000 goal pays 10¢ below goal; 8% over goal pays 8¢.

How do upsells count?

Usually only the annualized increase. A $300,000 account that signs a new $375,000 contract credits you $75,000.

What if I was overpaid earlier in the year?

On cumulative plans, the shortfall carries forward and comes out of future bonuses. You won't see another payout until your year-to-date earnings catch up.
