Learning notes

Explanation

โบนัส is a loanword from English “bonus.” Its central idea is something extra added to the regular amount. Its most common use is an employee bonus. Common combinations include ได้โบนัส or ได้รับโบนัส (“receive a bonus”), จ่ายโบนัส (“pay a bonus”), and ให้โบนัส (“give a bonus”). โบนัสสามเดือน normally means a bonus equal to three months’ salary, not a bonus paid over a three-month period. The word is not limited to cash. It can also refer to extra points, promotional credit, game scores, or virtual items.

Usage

It is commonly used at work when discussing the amount, timing, or performance conditions of employee bonuses, and it frequently appears in job listings and company documents. It is also used in promotions, loyalty programs, apps, and games for extra rewards.

Caution

เงินเดือน means regular monthly salary, while โบนัส is an additional payment or reward. Promotional phrases such as โบนัสฟรี or sign-up bonuses may still be subject to eligibility, withdrawal, or usage conditions.
