Ours is based on what the bottom line for our firm is - we have a small, but very successful PI firm and the attorney is super generous. 4 paralegals total - we get bonuses 2x a year and they usually total around $15k-25k per paralegal. No billable hours! Still waiting on that Erin Brockovich moment tho!

I only get a bonus once a year and it’s $2k. That’s if I meet my billables and then it’s also counted as a Christmas bonus. So $1k for billables and $1k for Christmas. But everyone at my firm gets either $1k or $2k on the staff.

Must be nice, I dont get any bonuses. The most Ive got was $200 and a gift card

My year end “discretionary” is 10-15k if I hit 1750.

P1- $145 base. We are in high steaks litigation and they definitely take care of us. 🙏🏻

My firm had end of year bonuses that the partners just made up but were always pretty generous. I got $10k last year and was told it was one of the highest while being the second most profitable paralegal. I did corporate work. A litigation paralegal also got $10k. She didn’t have as high receivables but she doubles as the billing manager so different parameters. Other years when I did marketing I got anywhere from $1k-$5k.

At my first firm that was ID, bonuses were based on years at the firm but the highest was still only in the hundreds before taxes.

EOY $8-9k based on company performance

Additional Posts in Paralegals

So I’ve been with a court for a while and honestly the pay sucks compared to what paralegals should be making… the benefits are great though and they match my retirement 100% now that I’m vested at 3 years.I have 4 kids and 1 is getting ready for college. I feel like the benefits are great but I’d rather make more now. I am a previous LEO for 4 years who switched to paralegal so I have my leo retirement. Paralegals here make $28 with no benefits what is a good compromise

Hi everyone. Is it typical for the attorney to take credit for the work a paralegal does? An example: I gave some ideas about deposition questions and some observations I made (I was asked about giving suggestions) regarding a witness and the attorney mentioned that he’s the one that had these great questions/observations. Zero credit or thank you for the work I did.
