How this calculator works
Net = bonus − retirement contribution − withholding − payroll tax
- withholding
- the flat supplemental rate many employers apply to bonuses
Important considerations
- Withholding is not the final tax — any over-withholding is reconciled at year end.
- Diverting a bonus into retirement savings usually reduces the immediate tax.
