Estimate only — not tax advice or full tax software. 2026 federal brackets and a simplified state model. Locals other than optional NYC, CA SDI, and WA Cares are omitted. Confirm with your pay stub or a tax professional.
The calculator sample starts as a single filer. Change filing status above to see married or head-of-household take-home on this same wage. Numbers update as you type.
Federal bonus withholding here uses the IRS optional flat 22% on supplemental wages, or 37% on supplemental wages over $1,000,000. Employers may instead use the aggregate method on a combined check. This is a planning sketch, not a stub.
FICA applies to bonus wages. Social Security stops at the $184,500 2026 wage base; Medicare does not. California income tax gets a simplified increment, and EDD SDI (1.3%, no cap) applies to the bonus in this model.
If the bonus field is empty after you share a bare URL, type the bonus in the calculator — the field is the same one on the national bonus page. Reviewed August 24, 2026.
