CPA volume bonus

How the monthly volume bonus on top of the base CPA is calculated, with two examples.

If you bring many qualified clients in one calendar month, you earn a volume bonus on top of the base CPA.

Payable qualified clients in the month

Bonus

Clients 1–25

No bonus

Clients 26–50

+10% of the average CPA, per client

Clients 51–100

+15% of the average CPA, per client

Clients 101 and above

+25% of the average CPA, per client

How it is calculated

  • Clients are counted per calendar month. Only payable qualified clients for that month count.

  • The bonus is marginal: each rate applies only to the clients inside its bracket. Clients 1–25 get no bonus, even when you reach a higher bracket.

  • The bonus is a share of your average CPA for the month. Average CPA is the total base CPA for all payable qualified clients in the month divided by their number. For that reason, the order in which clients qualify does not change the amount.

Example 1: 60 clients

60 payable qualified clients, total base CPA $9,000. Average CPA is $150.

  • Clients 26–50: 25 × 10% × $150 = $375

  • Clients 51–60: 10 × 15% × $150 = $225

Bonus: $600. Total payment: $9,600.
​

Example 2: 120 clients

120 payable qualified clients, average CPA $400. Base CPA is $48,000.

  • Clients 26–50: 25 × 10% × $400 = $1,000

  • Clients 51–100: 50 × 15% × $400 = $3,000

  • Clients 101–120: 20 × 25% × $400 = $2,000

Bonus: $6,000. Total payment: $54,000, which is 12.5% more than the base CPA.
​

What counts toward the bonus

Clients that do not pass the quality review, and Group D clients above the monthly country limit, do not count toward the brackets. The bonus goes through the same review as the base CPA. See CPA country groups and CPA payments and rules.
