Delta to Pay Employees $1.3 Billion in 2025 Profit Sharing

The payout reflects a formula that shares 10% of the first $2.5 billion in profits, rising to 20% above that threshold.

Overview

  • Delta will distribute $1.3 billion to employees for 2025 profits, an estimated 8.9% of eligible pay equal to just over four weeks of pay on average.
  • Payments will be issued on Profit Sharing Day on Feb. 13, the company’s annual mid-February payout.
  • The program uses a formula that allocates 10% of the first $2.5 billion in profits and 20% of profits above that level.
  • Delta characterizes the payout as a top-five result in its history and larger than the rest of the U.S. industry combined.
  • Independent reporting estimates the pool at roughly 30% of Delta’s about $5 billion in 2025 profit and notes it is slightly below last year’s roughly 10% payout.
