Bottom Bucket Associate Bonus

Fellow Monkeys,

I read a lot about bonuses when it comes to top or upper mid-bucket, but see rarely any information on the bottom bucket associates (that clearly exist as every ranking is a forced ranking).

In other words, what is the lowest bonus Associates can expect this year?
