The answer

The of the majority of scholars is that the bonus you received from work is not subject to until a hawl (full lunar year) passes over it, due to the generality of the : "There is no zakat on wealth until a hawl passes over it." This is the saying of Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman, and Ali, may Allah be pleased with them. However, if the acquired wealth is from the growth of the principal, like trade profits, then its zakat is obligatory along with its principal by consensus.
