A year after already making a mark with a historic bonus, Ferrari strikes even harder. In 2026, the Maranello-based brand will pay a record bonus of €14,900 to its employees, boosted by exceptional 2025 financial results. Yet another demonstration that, at the Italian automaker, performance is measured not just in horsepower or victories, but also in concrete recognition of work accomplished.
Financial performance drives up premiums
In 2025, Ferrari posted a net profit of 1.6 billion euros, up from 1.52 billion euros the previous year. This steady growth is part of an impressive trajectory: in 2020, in the midst of global uncertainties, the automaker still posted profits of 609 million euros. Five years on, earnings have more than doubled. This financial strength is directly reflected in the amount of the competitiveness bonus paid to employees, excluding senior management. In 2025, it had already reached €14,400, an unprecedented level. With the 2025 results, it now climbs to €14,900, setting a new record. At Ferrari, this bonus is more than just a token payment. It is calculated according to precise criteria: vehicle shipment volumes, adjusted EBITDA, product quality and absenteeism rates. In other words, it is directly correlated to the company's industrial and financial performance.
A system designed to reward collective performance
If the amounts have risen sharply in recent years, it's also thanks to the agreement signed in 2019 with the unions. This agreement introduced an annual reassessment of the "Premio di Competitività", conditional on the achievement of clear objectives in terms of production, profitability and quality. The figures speak for themselves. In 2017 and 2018, premiums hovered around €5,500 to €5,900. In 2020, they reached €7,500. Then the ramp-up was spectacular: €12,000 in 2021, €13,500 in 2022 and 2023, €14,400 in 2024, and now €14,900 thanks to the 2025 results.
| Year | Bonus | Ferrari benefits |
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 14 900 € | 1.6 billion |
| 2024 | 14 400 € | 1.52 billion |
| 2023 | 13 500 € | 1.25 billion |
| 2022 | 13 500 € | 939 million |
| 2021 | 12 000 € | €833 million |
| 2020 | 7 500 € | 609 million |
| 2019 | 5 500 € | 699 million |
| 2018 | 5 900 € | 787 million |
| 2017 | 5 500 € | €537 million |
This mechanism creates a virtuous circle. The more Ferrari achieves in terms of sales and production, the more its employees benefit directly. This logic strengthens team involvement, while consolidating an internal culture based on excellence and empowerment.
The increase in the premium is no coincidence. Ferrari had already announced its ambition to increase sales by 5 % and margin by 7 % by 2025. The results show that this trajectory has been met, and even exceeded. If the current momentum continues, it would not be surprising to see new records set in the coming years. At Ferrari, performance is not a one-off event, but a trajectory.
The bonus is the net annual salary of an average worker.
