About this bonus allocation model spreadsheet template

This Bonus Allocation Model template provides a structured framework for calculating employee bonuses based on role-based targets, individual performance scores, company-wide modifiers, and manager discretionary adjustments. The four-sheet workbook covers the full workflow from individual calculation through manager review to department-level dashboard summaries.

The Bonus Register sheet computes target bonus, performance factor, preliminary bonus, and final bonus for each employee, with built-in cap checks and status flags. The Review Queue isolates employees needing calibration, while the Bonus Dashboard aggregates results by department for leadership visibility.
