State payroll programs, local taxes and other deductions are outside this calculation. An excluded program is not assumed to have a zero employee cost.

Bonus tax questions
Why does flat federal withholding use 22%?
That is the lower supplemental wage rate used by this calculator. Withholding is a payment toward your annual tax bill; your salary, bonus and filing status determine how much federal income tax the bonus adds.
Does a bonus have a different final income-tax rate from salary?
Salary and bonuses both count as ordinary employment income for federal income tax. Employers can use a different method to withhold from a bonus, which can make the deduction on that payment look larger.
What might I keep from a $10,000 bonus?
In this fixed example, a single filer has a $75,000 annual salary, no earlier supplemental wages and $50,000 already paid by the employer for both Social Security and Medicare. The whole bonus is covered, with no pre-tax deductions. The flat method estimates $2,200 in federal withholding and $765 in employee payroll taxes. That leaves $7,035 before state income tax; change the inputs above for your situation.
Which federal supplemental rates does the 2026 estimate use?
The flat method applies 22% until supplemental wages from this employer reach $1,000,000 for the year, then 37% to the excess. Enter earlier supplemental wages so the calculator can apply that threshold.
Why might my payroll result differ?
Annual regular salary excludes all supplemental pay. Earlier supplemental pay is added once when estimating annual tax. Actual Social Security and Medicare wages paid before this payment determine event payroll withholding. The aggregate comparison also needs actual regular wages for its pay period and assumes no Form W-4 credits, extra withholding or adjustments. State withholding, local taxes, state payroll programs and other deductions can change cash received.
