You can issue a bonus by adding a **bonus earning** while processing a [regular pay run](/uk/payroll/help/employer/pay-runs/regular-payroll.html).

1.  Open the pay run in draft.
2.  Open the employee who should receive the bonus.
3.  Add the bonus earning and enter the amount.
4.  Save, then continue reviewing and approving the pay run as usual.

Zoho Payroll calculates the associated tax and National Insurance for that earning as part of the pay run.

**Note:** A separate bonus payroll type is not available in the UK edition right now. Use a bonus earning in your regular pay run instead.
