The bonus system is not based on gross revenue alone. Gross revenue tells us we are growing. After-tax profit tells us whether the company is actually creating extra cash after payroll, delivery costs, overhead, and taxes are covered.
This is the monthly allocation cash. It is the number that gets split into team upside, debt cleanup, and company safety.
Team upside from real after-tax profit. Tracked monthly, reviewed quarterly, and paid only after gates are met.
Cash set aside to remove company pressure and strengthen the business. This accelerates after the reserve is funded.
Builds until Tekton has 90 days of operating expenses protected. After that, overflow goes to debt cleanup.
As after-tax profit grows, the bonus share can grow too. Early stages protect debt cleanup and company safety first.
Bonuses are calculated monthly, but they do not pay out monthly. They are reviewed after each quarter closes.
The savings bucket does not grow forever. It builds until Tekton has 90 days of current operating expenses protected. Once that target is funded, the savings allocation redirects into the debt cleanup bucket.
This is a projection only, not a promise. It assumes Tekton adds 3 retained clients per month at $2k/month each, with 30% added fulfillment cost and a 31% tax rate.
| Period | Cumulative bonus pool | Cumulative debt pool | Cumulative savings reserve | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| End of Q1 | $4.4k | $11.9k | $15.5k | Plan is active, still early. |
| End of Q2 | $16.0k | $29.3k | $44.5k | Reserve is building. Debt cleanup is moving. |
| End of Q3 | $32.8k | $55.3k | $85.7k | 90-day reserve funded. Savings cap reached. |
| End of Q4 | $54.8k | $143.4k | $85.7k | Savings overflow accelerates debt cleanup. |
Simple progress, not private finances.
If the company grows safely, the upside grows with it. If the company is not safe yet, the system shows why.
