Washington 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.

Does this estimate change if I'm married or have dependents?

This calculator uses single-filer figures only (v1 scope). Married filing jointly typically uses different federal brackets and a larger standard deduction — your actual take-home pay will differ. Dependents can also reduce federal withholding via the W-4. Check Washington Department of Revenue's married-filing-jointly tables for a precise figure.

Methodology & Source

Washington state tax figures sourced from Washington Department of Revenue (https://dor.wa.gov/), citing No personal income tax on wages. Federal brackets, standard deductions (single/MFJ/HoH), and FICA constants sourced from the IRS (Revenue Procedure 2025-32; married-filing-jointly Additional Medicare threshold of $250,000 is a separate, unindexed statutory figure). Washington's married-filing-jointly and head-of-household figures are not yet independently verified and currently fall back to single-filer brackets — see the caveat in the formula section above.

Bonus federal withholding uses the flat supplemental-wage rate (22%, 37% above $1,000,000 cumulative supplemental wages/year), per IRS Publication 15 (Circular E), Employer's Tax Guide, 2026 edition — the alternative "aggregate method" is not modeled.

This is an estimate based on standard single-filer federal, FICA, and WA state calculations. Actual withholding may differ based on your W-4 elections, pre-tax deductions, and other factors. Washington has a 7% capital gains tax on gains over $262,000/year — not a wage tax and not modeled here, since this calculator computes wage-income paychecks only.
