# Profit sharing ## Overview Our primary goal over the next few years will be to raise the [base salary](https://handbook.redivis.com/salary#transparent-tiered-salary-system), as this benefits all employees. However, we also want everyone to be rewarded for our collective success. Redivis will distribute excess profits every six months, as determined (with rationale communicated) by senior management, based on the following formula: $$ ProfitShare ∝ tenure \* 0.5 + daysEmployedInYear \* salary \* 0.5 $$ In short, 50% of your share of the profits will be based on how long you've worked at Redivis, and 50% of your share will be based on how long you were employed that year, weighted by salary. The salary weight exists to capture the magnitude of your contribution that year — presumably, a junior developer played less (though significant!) of a role in this year's profits compared to a principal designer. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
