Goldman’s accrued compensation pot – the money designated for both base salaries and bonuses – at the end of the third quarter was almost $17bn, and is estimated to have ended the bank’s financial year at close to $20bn. That is to be divided among Goldman’s 29,000 full-time employees, as well as almost as many full-time staff not on the official payroll, implying a pay-out on average of roughly $360,000 per head.

Goldman expects to inform all staff of their bonuses by the end of this week. It has been an especially good year for Goldman’s mergers and acquisitions franchise, and fixed-income, currencies and commodities.
