How Your Bonus Pay is Calculated
Bonus pay, commission payments, and other supplemental income are typically taxed differently than regular salary income. The IRS allows employers to withhold a flat 22% federal income tax rate on bonuses under the supplemental wage method.
Federal Tax on Bonuses
For most employees, bonuses are subject to a flat 22% federal income tax withholding. In some cases, if the bonus is paid together with regular wages, your employer may combine the amounts and use your normal tax rate instead. You can also use our Net Salary Calculator to estimate your regular take-home pay.
State Tax on Bonuses
Bonuses are also subject to state income tax where applicable. bonuses are taxed at your regular state income tax rate. States like Texas, Florida, and Washington do not impose state income taxes on bonuses or salaries.
FICA Taxes
Like your regular salary, bonuses are subject to FICA taxes — 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare. If you are paid hourly or part-time, you may also find our Hourly to Salary Calculator useful to estimate your overall income.
If your bonus is prorated across part of the year, you might also want to check our Pro-Rata Salary Calculator for more accurate estimates.
Always keep in mind that actual withholdings may vary depending on your employer's payroll practices and your overall tax situation.
