bonus payment

Additional earned money

A bonus payment is money paid in addition to regular wages or salary, typically as a reward for performance or as an incentive.

Companies issue bonus payments for meeting targets, holiday recognition, or profit sharing: The sales team received bonus payments after exceeding quarterly goals.

The phrase is slightly redundant since a bonus is itself a payment.
