2021‑2022 New Economy Companies Year‑End Bonus Report: Salary and Bonus Analysis

The article references a Maimai research report titled “2021‑2022 New Economy Companies Year‑End Bonus Observation Report,” which uses large‑scale data analysis to examine salary and year‑end bonus patterns among leading Chinese internet and IT firms.

Key findings include that OPPO leads the average year‑end bonus ranking with ¥217,100, followed by Tencent at ¥206,300 and Ant Group at ¥175,700; the top‑10 threshold is ¥102,800. In contrast, Alibaba tops the average monthly salary list with ¥33,500, Beike follows with ¥33,300, and ByteDance ranks third with ¥32,800.

The data show that companies differ in compensation focus: some prioritize bonuses (e.g., Huawei’s bonus ranks in the top 10 while its monthly salary does not), while others emphasize base salary (e.g., Meituan and Xiaomi rank high in monthly salary but low in bonuses). Overall, many respondents feel “averaged” by these metrics.

Bonus distribution is far from normal: 78.4% of bonuses are less than three months’ salary, 26% receive no bonus, and only 8.7% exceed five months’ salary.

Educational background strongly influences bonus outcomes: PhD holders are far more likely to receive high or rapidly increasing bonuses—about 20% earn more than five months, 17.3% see a >50% increase—while 42.6% of those with associate degrees or lower receive none.

Age also matters: nearly half of post‑1995 and post‑2000 employees would consider leaving if they receive no bonus, whereas about 30% of post‑1980s staff would stay even when dissatisfied.

Despite low satisfaction with bonuses, overall turnover intention remains modest, indicating many professionals prefer job stability over frequent moves in 2022.
