What is withheld from a bonus?

This tool uses the flat 22% federal supplemental withholding method requested for this calculator, then adds Social Security, Medicare, Additional Medicare Tax where applicable, and state income tax. Withholding is not the same as your final annual tax liability.

Employers may combine a bonus with regular wages or use a different permitted withholding method. Compare the result with your payroll statement before making a tax or spending decision.
