About this calculator

The performance bonus tier calculator applies a stepped, tiered rate schedule to base salary depending on the percentage of a goal achieved — for example, no bonus below 80% of target, a moderate rate between 80–100%, and a higher rate for anything above 100%, with each tier's rate applying only to that band of achievement (or, in a simpler flat-tier design, to the whole bonus once a threshold is crossed).

Tiered bonus structures are common in sales compensation and corporate incentive plans because a single linear rate either underpays strong overperformance or overpays marginal performance near the threshold — stepping the rate up as achievement rises rewards exceeding target more than just meeting it. HR and compensation teams designing incentive plans, and employees estimating their own payout use this calculator to see exactly how a given achievement percentage translates into dollars under the plan's tier structure.
