I agree with travelover and Dangermouse: don't give notice until the bonus has already been paid.
Alternatively, if the anticipated bonus is too small to worry about, simply leave it out of your planning and pick the best notice/departure time that works for you and your family.
Good luck!
+1. Very good advice there. Also, given that this year's performance for most companies may not be excellent, the bonus amount may be impacted. So if the bonus amount is not large, don't fret over the timing too much. How much is "large" is rather subjective but for me, if it can finance a fabulous holiday after ER, then it makes sense to stay on a bit more.
