Company Performance Incentive Bonus Payout = .75 x 104 + .25 x 100 = 103%
Payout = 126%

An employee at Level 2-8 with 100% Individual Performance would receive:
50% Incentive Bonus = Company Performance = 126% X .5 = 63% of target bonus
50% Incentive Bonus = Individual Performance = 100% X .5 = 50% of target bonus
If Target Bonus is 15%, then Total Bonus = 17% of salary

An employee at Level 9-13 would earn 126% of their Target Bonus
