There's two ways to pay an employee a one-off bonus or commission:

  • include the payment on the employee's regular pay, or
  • process a separate pay for the bonus or commission.

Tax on bonus and commission payments

When paying a bonus or commission, AccountRight treats the total gross pay as the employee's regular wage and taxes it accordingly. This means you'll need to calculate and manually adjust the PAYG Withholding on the pay.

The ATO website has information to help you calculate the PAYG Withholding on a bonus or commission payment.

To include a bonus or commission on a regular pay

To include a bonus or commission on a regular pay 

  1. Start a pay run (Payroll > Process Payroll).
  2. Choose the employees you want to pay and confirm the Payment Date and Pay Period.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Click the zoom arrow to review the employee's pay.
  5. If the Bonus or Commission wage category hasn't already been added to the employee:
    1. Click Add Payroll Category.
    2. Select the Bonus or Commission wage category.
    3. Click OK.
  6. Enter the payment in the Amount column against the Bonus or Comnmission wage category.
  7. Adjust the PAYG Wihholding value as required.
  8. Finalise the pay as normal.
To process a separate pay for the bonus or commission

  1. Start a pay run (Payroll > Process Payroll).
  2. At the Process all employees paid field, select Bonus/Commission. Information is displayed about the need to manually calculate and enter the tax for this payment.


  3. Confirm the Payment Date and Pay Period then click Next.
  4. Click the zoom arrow to review the employee's pay.
  5. If the Bonus or Commission wage category hasn't already been added to the employee:
    1. Click Add Payroll Category.
    2. Select the Bonus or Commission wage category.
    3. Click OK.
  6. Enter the payment in the Amount column against the Bonus or Comnmission wage category.
