How do consulting companies calculate bonus? Is it based on a target percentage times individual performance times company performance times base salary? So if someone make $100k base and has a target bonus % of 20% at her level and has been rated 120% for individual performance and company performance is 200%. So would bonus be? 100k*20%*120%*200% = $48k. I am making a move from industry to consulting and need clarity.

    Believe practice varies across consulting firm. Would ask your firm the philosophy behind it and how it works.

    Here it's percentage of base salary. Adjusted down a bit if you have time logged that is the equivalent of "unassigned". How that percentage is calculated? There is a formula but you are given a range as indication. The range differs based on your career level.
