  **第一項**  実施機関は、被保険者が賞与を受けた月において、その月に当該被保険者が受けた賞与額に基づき、これに千円未満の端数を生じたときはこれを切り捨てて、その月における標準賞与額を決定する。この場合において、当該標準賞与額が百五十万円（第二十条第二項の規定による標準報酬月額の等級区分の改定が行われたときは、政令で定める額。以下この項において同じ。）を超えるときは、これを百五十万円とする。

  In months when an insured receives a bonus, the implementing organization decides the standardized amount of the bonus for that month based on the amount of the bonus that the relevant insured received that month, by rounding down to the nearest thousand. In such a case, if the standardized amount of the bonus exceeds 1,500,000 yen (or the amount specified by Cabinet Order, if the classification has been revised for the standardized monthly amount of remuneration pursuant to the provisions of Article 20, paragraph (2); the same applies hereinafter in this paragraph), the amount is 1,500,000 yen.

  The provisions of Article 24 apply mutatis mutandis to the calculation of the standardized amount of a bonus.
