Bonus Structure/Formula Question

All-

Discussing some new roles which would would allow me to structure my own package. Within the hedge fund world, at the PM level, is there a typical formula (or at least framework) for annual bonus based on performance? % of total P&L? % of profit above a hurdle rate or benchmark?

Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks everyone.
