[Financial Requirement] - Cat B Salaried with bonus

[rm10]

Hello,

For Category B salaried income, are non-guaranteed bonuses treated as "salaried income" or "non-salaried income" (and therefore worked out as the annualised 6-month average of the bonuses)?

I am referring to paragraph 5.5.7 in the Financial Requirement document:

5.5.7

Overtime, commission-based pay and bonuses (which can include tips and gratuities
paid via a tronc scheme registered with HMRC) will be counted as income from
employment where they have been received in the 6 or 12 months prior to the date of
application as applicable. Sometimes the person will receive the same amount of
income from overtime each month; sometimes overtime payments will vary, with
different amounts (if any) each month. All overtime in salaried employment will be
calculated based on the approach to income from non-salaried employment. This will be
an annualised 6-month average for the overtime which will be added to the level of the
gross annual salary.

Any overtime or bonuses would be calculated using the non salaried income calculation and then added to your annual gross salary.

Thank you for your reply.

Does this rule apply only to the first part or to the second part also of the Category B conditions?

I am referring to paragraphs 5.3.3 - 5.3.10.
