B = (E * r) 

Variables:

  • B is the EBITDA bonus ($)
  • E is the Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) ($)

To calculate the EBITDA bonus, multiply the Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA) by the bonus rate. The result is the EBITDA bonus.

What is an Ebitda Bonus?

An EBITDA bonus is a type of incentive given to employees, usually executives, based on the company’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). It is designed to motivate employees to improve the company’s financial performance, as the bonus amount is directly tied to the company’s EBITDA. The higher the EBITDA, the larger the bonus payout. This type of bonus is common in industries with significant assets and depreciation expenses, such as manufacturing and real estate.
