Frequently Asked Questions
Under the Payment of Bonus Act, statutory bonus is calculated on a salary capped at ₹7,000 per month (or the minimum wage, if higher) - even if your actual Basic + DA is higher, the bonus computation uses this capped amount.
The Payment of Bonus Act requires employers to pay a minimum bonus of 8.33% of the eligible salary, and caps it at a maximum of 20%, depending on the company's allocable surplus for the year.
The Payment of Bonus Act applies to establishments with 20 or more employees, and to employees earning up to a wage ceiling notified under the Act. Many companies also pay a separate, discretionary "performance bonus" outside this statutory framework, which this calculator doesn't cover.
