FAQ

What is a bonus multiplier?

A bonus multiplier adjusts the target bonus up or down. A 1.25x multiplier pays 125 percent of target, while a 0.75x multiplier pays 75 percent.

Can I solve for the multiplier from an actual payout?

Yes. Divide actual payout by target bonus to estimate the multiplier used.

Is multiplier the same as performance percentage?

Often yes, but some plans combine company, team and individual percentages into one final multiplier.
