Is zakaah due on bonuses?

Question: 75390

The company for which I work gives fifteen days’ wages as a bonus at the end of every year of service, but this bonus comes at the end of the period of service. If I take this bonus after the end of the period of service, is zakaah due on it or not?.

Answer

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.

If the situation is as described, then no zakaah is due on that bonus until you receive it, and one year has passed from the time of receiving it. End quote.
