Why are bonuses taxed differently?
In many jurisdictions, bonuses are considered "supplemental wages." While they are still part of your total taxable income, employers often use a "flat rate" for withholding on bonuses (such as 22% in the U.S. for bonuses under $1 million), which may be higher or lower than your regular effective tax rate.
This tool will help you estimate the net amount of your bonus so you can plan your finances with accuracy.
