Where it actually breaks

The math is the easy part.

Variable comp goes wrong not in the calculation but in everything around it — the rebuild every quarter, the unanswered "where do I stand?", the surprise payout that erodes trust.

🌫

Your team is flying blind

Most plans live somewhere only the boss can see. The team waits until quarter-close to learn their number — no projections, no what-ifs, no live view. The motivational point of a bonus dies in the lag.

🔁

Every employee is a fresh build

Templates exist in theory. In practice, every new hire is a rebuild from scratch — new tier table, new currency, new quirks. Copies multiply, drift sets in, mistakes get baked into next year's file.

🤝

Trust frays at the edges

When a payout lands even slightly different from what someone expected, you're now spending an hour walking through the maths. Do that twice and people stop trusting the system.

How it works

Three steps. Ten minutes.

From sign-up to your first employee viewing their live plan — without leaving the browser.

1

Design your bonus

Build any structure you can think of — target revenue, profit-based, or any KPI or goal you describe in plain words (our AI turns it into a plan) — with your own tier rules, currencies, and weighting. Edit the tier table inline and see payouts at every level update live.

Set targets & assign

Drop in your budgets by period (monthly, quarterly, or annual), pick the currency, define the tier rules (step-down, linear, with a floor and a cap). Assign the plan to one or more employees with effective dates.

Your team logs in & tracks live

Employees see their plan, current period, achievement vs. budget, projected payout, and a what-if slider — without ever asking. Every payout shows its workings — and trusted employees can even enter their own actuals.

  • Describe any goal in plain words and AI drafts the plan for you
  • Step-down or linear tier rules, with floor and cap
  • Multi-currency — set each employee's target and payout currency

Why Bonara

Built for the SMB owner, not the comp analyst.

Enterprise tools are overkill. Sales-rep commission tools miss the brief. Spreadsheets break.

DIY in a spreadsheet

Great for the math. Less great as the team grows.

  • One file per employee — no rollup view
  • No live view your team can open
  • Currency tracked by hand
  • Limited audit trail when payouts get questioned

Bonara

Right-sized for your stage.

  • Build any plan structure your team actually needs
  • Live employee view from day one
  • Multi-currency, native
  • Every payout audit-ready
  • 10-minute self-serve setup

Enterprise ICM

Built for someone else.

  • Six-month implementation cycles
  • Procurement, RFPs, sales calls
  • Focus on sales-rep commission
  • Mid-five-figure annual commitments

Frequently asked

Questions you probably have.

How is Bonara different from QuotaPath, Spiff, or CaptivateIQ? +
QuotaPath is great for sales-rep commission tied to CRM pipeline. Spiff and CaptivateIQ are enterprise platforms built for compensation analysts at 500+ employee companies. Bonara is built for the SMB owner running budget-based bonuses for regional managers, GMs, and KPI-driven roles. Self-serve setup. Designed to look like the plans you already run — not a sales-rep deal log.
Can I bring my existing plan from Excel? +
Yes. You can recreate any plan structure directly in Bonara — enter your tier table, your budgets, and your weighting. No migration consultant required. If you have something unusual, we can help you model it.
Which currencies do you support? +
20+ currencies including EUR, USD, GBP, CHF, AED, and more. You set each employee's target currency and payout currency independently — so a plan can be measured in one currency and paid in another. Defaults are set once in Settings.
What does the employee view show? +
Their plan, their target, their actuals per period, their achievement %, their current tier multiplier, and their projected annual payout. Plus a what-if slider that lets them model end-of-year scenarios. Every payout shows the full calculation, so the numbers are never a black box. The view is read-only — though you can let trusted employees enter their own actuals.
Can we use Bonara without entering revenue figures? +
Yes. If you'd rather not put financials into a tool, run KPI-only plans: describe any goal in plain words and the AI turns it into a measurable plan — no revenue numbers required. Many teams start KPI-only and add revenue plans once they're comfortable.
How long does it take to set up? +
Most admins go from sign-up to first plan assigned in under 10 minutes. Design your plan, fill in your budgets and tier table, invite an employee. They get an email with a link to view their plan.
Does Bonara integrate with our payroll / accounting? +
Reports you can hand to payroll (Excel, CSV, PDF — including scheduled HR reports) are part of the Connect plan, alongside direct integrations with payroll and BI systems that are in active development. Tell us which system matters most for you.

Stop dreading bonus season.
