1. bonus

   A subsidy is pecuniary aid directly granted by government to an individual or commercial enterprise, or money furnished by one nation to another to aid it in carrying on war against a common enemy. A nation grants a subsidy to an ally, pays a tribute to a conqueror. An indemnity is in the nature of things limited and temporary, while a tribute might be exacted indefinitely. A nation may also grant a subsidy to its own citizens as a means of promoting the public welfare; as, a subsidy to a steamship company. The somewhat rare term subvention is especially applied to a grant of governmental aid to a literary or artistic enterprise. Governmental aid to a commercial or industrial enterprise other than a transportation company is more frequently called a bounty than a subsidy; as, the sugar bounty. The word bounty may be applied to almost any regular or stipulated allowance by a government to a citizen or citizens; as, a bounty for enlisting in the army; a bounty for killing wolves. A bounty is offered for something to be done; a pension is granted for something that has been done.

   Synonyms:
   aid, allowance, bounty, gift, grant, indemnity, pension, premium, reward, subsidy, subvention, support, tribute

How to use bonus in a sentence?

1. Eric Talley:

   It's about having an appropriate tone at the top, there might be companies that did really well in 2019 and suddenly your company has hit a brick wall. So at the same time you're laying off a bunch of rank and file employees, you're awarding yourself (millions in bonus pay). It just doesn't look very good.

2. Gary Woodland:

   That was just a bonus, hit a beautiful drive. I was in the divot, a pretty deep divot. We were a little indecisive what we were going to do. We tried to take a little less club and hit it hard and play out to the safe to the right, and it was nice to knock it in.

3. Gudni Thorlacius Johannesson:

   Whatever happens at the World Cup, we will be proud of our players, because they will have played as a team and given all they have, and that is all we can ask for. I think we'll be number two in the group, and if not, we'll still have had a wonderful tournament, if the dream comes true - but in a way the dream has already come true, and everything after that is a bonus.

4. Bob Caldwell:

   This is probably the best Father's Day gift that you can have, i get to spend time with people that I've grown to respect and enjoy and I get to spend time with my son-in-law and sometimes my son. Concerts are just an added bonus quite frankly at this point. I love music. I can't sing and can't dance but I love music.

5. Ignacio Garrido:

   I have to take it day by day but the fact I'm playing again is a bonus, what I'm going to do is play a few more events before the end of the year to get my rhythm back. Then I'll go to European Tour and be in shape to return next year when I can hopefully get my career going again.
