Earnings Bonus Clause Samples

An Earnings Bonus clause establishes a provision for additional compensation to be paid to a party if certain financial performance targets are met. Typically, this clause outlines specific earnings thresholds or milestones—such as revenue, profit, or EBITDA—that must be achieved within a defined period for the bonus to be triggered. For example, an employee or contractor may receive a lump-sum payment or percentage of profits if the company surpasses a set earnings goal. The core function of this clause is to incentivize strong performance and align the interests of the parties with the financial success of the business.
