Georgia Bonus Tax Calculator

Estimate take-home pay on a bonus, using the federal flat-rate supplemental withholding method

Estimate only — not tax advice. Federal tax on the bonus uses the flat 22% supplemental withholding rate (37% on cumulative supplemental wages over $1,000,000/year) — the alternative "aggregate method" some employers use instead is not modeled. FICA and any state SDI/PFL are computed as the difference between your regular income with and without the bonus added, so the Social Security wage cap applies correctly. State tax on the bonus is a marginal-bracket estimate, not necessarily any special state supplemental rate. See methodology below for source and last-verified date.
