Layer bonuses and SPIFs without side spreadsheets.
KickSplit helps sales teams add structured bonus plans and targeted SPIF incentives on top of base commissions while keeping payout categories clear through runs, statements, and payroll-ready exports.

Statements + Payroll-Ready Export
Incentives get risky when they live outside the commission workflow.
Side spreadsheets multiply
Bonuses and short-term incentives often start simple, then turn into separate tabs, formulas, and manual payouts.
Motivation loses clarity
Reps need to understand what they are chasing and how it affects their payout.
Payroll loses category detail
Finance needs to know what is base commission, what is bonus, and what is SPIF.
Use the right incentive for the job.
Bonus Plans
Structured incentive plans assigned to reps, evaluated during commission runs, and paid through clear bonus payout rows.
- Flat or tiered structures
- Dollar or percentage payout styles
- Qualifiers based on units, amount, margin, or gross profit
- Assignment support for multiple plans per rep
- Distinct bonus payout category
SPIFs
Targeted short-term incentives scoped to company or territory goals, tracked separately from base commission, and pushed into payout output when ready.
- Company or territory scope
- Metric-based tracking
- Monthly budget cap framing
- Progress visibility
- Distinct SPIF payout category
Define the incentive before it becomes payout output.
Bonus Plan Builder
SPIF Setup
From incentive design to visible payout.
- 1
Choose the incentive type
Decide whether the goal belongs in a structured bonus plan or a targeted SPIF.
- 2
Define the rules
Set the structure, qualifier, scope, timing, assignment, metric, or budget context.
- 3
Track progress separately
Keep bonus and SPIF logic distinct from base commission instead of blending everything together.
- 4
Attach to official outputs
Bonus and SPIF payouts flow into run review and statement output as their own categories.
- 5
Export with payout meaning preserved
Payroll-ready exports can show compensation categories instead of one unexplained payout number.
Incentives need motivation and control.
Distinct payout categories
Base commission, bonus payouts, and SPIF payouts stay visibly separate.
Budget-aware SPIFs
SPIF setup can stay tied to budget context instead of becoming open-ended side promises.
Run and statement visibility
Incentive payouts appear in the same compensation workflow reps and admins already review.
No core plan rewrite
Leaders can add targeted incentives without changing the base commission plan every time.
