Bonus, Overtime & Commission Treatment
How bank servicing models discount fluctuating variable compensation structures.
Core Assessment Analysis
Variable pay components like annual cash bonuses, overtime, commissions, and vesting shares are shaded by 20% to 50% in bank calculators. A bank that shades commissions by 20% only uses 80% of your earnings. Furthermore, they demand 2 full years of history. However, select premium lenders recognize 100% of stable variable lines with only a 12-month track record.
