Withholding-level estimate. The 22% federal rate is a prepayment, not your final tax — excess withholding is refunded when you file. FICA of 7.65% assumes you are under the Social Security wage base for the year. Not tax advice.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my bonus check smaller in Texas than my coworker's in another state?
It shouldn't be — Texas has no wage income tax, so the only deductions are federal 22% and 7.65% FICA. If more came out, check for local taxes or benefit deductions.
