About GSTIP
Our Global Short Term Incentive Plan (GSTIP) is a discretionary cash bonus plan designed to drive exceptional performance across VOIS and recognise and reward individual impact during the year.
The bonus calculation operates as follows:
Your base salary
As calculated on 31 March 2026.
Your target bonus
Set out as a percentage of your salary and based on your band and local market.
Business performance multiplier
Calculated based on a Business Performance range of 0-200% which is applied to your target bonus percentage.
Individual impact
Your individual multiplier may vary between 75% and 125% depending on your Impact Rating.
*Please note: Reward implications regarding individual impact and minimum performance standards are not applicable to employees in Vodafone Germany and VGSG as the full Grow My Impact implementation is subject to workers council approval.
The details
The GSTIP is an annual discretionary plan which is paid in cash after the end of the performance period.
Financial year
The performance year for the GSTIP follows our financial year which runs from 1 April to 31 March each year.
Eligibility
To be eligible for a bonus payout you must have joined Vodafone on or before 1 March during the performance year and be employed with us at the point of bonus payment date
Minimum Performance Standards
To receive a bonus you must meet minimum performance standards as defined by your local market.
Payout
You will receive your bonus payout in June following the end of the performance year.
Business performance
Your business multiplier will be between 0% and 200%. As part of the new VOIS organisation, Technology function is an integral part of the VOIS strategy. Starting 1 April 2025, Technology VOIS has been aligned to the new VOIS bonus framework. If you work in Landlords or Networks, you will follow a 100% Group framework. Otherwise, your multiplier will be based on 70% VOIS performance, 30% Group performance.
You can view the weightings of these measures for the Group portion of the multiplier here. For VOIS, the measures are as follows:

- Your performance measures will be weighted 70% on VOIS performance and 30% on Group performance.
- For performance below threshold there is no payout.
- The performance under each measure will be multiplied by its relevant weighting to give a final business multiplier percentage. End-of-year results will communicate business performance against both maximum opportunity (0%-100%) and target performance (0%-200%), the latter of which is what will be applied to your target bonus percentage.
- Financial Planning and Analysis are responsible for calculating any financial measures.
- The achievement of strategic measures will be assessed by the Group CEO, Group CHRO and Group CFO. The key metrics in this assessment are Churn and Net Promoter Score.
- The Remuneration Committee approves the final GSTIP outcomes and these are released in late May after the announcement of our year-end results.
Our historical outcome for previous financial years are as follows:
- FY25 = 60.4% of maximum target performance (120.9% of target)
- FY24 = 66.4% of maximum target performance (132.8% of target)
