About Bonus Tax Calculator

Estimate exactly how much of your hard-earned bonus reaches your bank account with our professional Bonus Tax Calculator. Bonus payments are classified as 'supplemental income' in many tax systems and are often subject to a flat withholding rate (commonly 22% for federal tax in the US), which can be surprisingly different from your regular paycheck deductions. This tool gives you clarity by allowing you to input your bonus amount, customize the tax rate, and deduct other contributions like 401(k) or state taxes to find your precise net payout. Formula Used: Net Pay = Gross Bonus - Total Tax - Other Deductions Where: Total Tax = Gross Bonus × (Tax Rate / 100) This calculator uses the convenient 'Percentage Method' (flat rate aggregation), which is the standard approach for estimating immediate tax withholding on supplemental wages.
