Staff earning less than £30,000 will receive a single payment of £600, with staff earning more getting less.
Buckingham Palace declined to comment.
The BBC understands no taxpayers' money is being used and the bonus is being paid from the King's Privy Purse.
This is the money from a private estate known as the Duchy of Lancaster, which covers 18,000 hectares of land. It includes land in areas including Lancashire and Yorkshire, as well as property in central London. The Duchy of Lancaster usually makes a profit of about £20m a year.
