About the Bonus calculator

Calculate a bonus from your salary and bonus percentage, and see what you take home after tax.

How to use the Bonus calculator

  1. Enter your Base Salary and Bonus Percentage (%).
  2. Enter the Tax Rate on Bonus (%).
  3. Press Calculate Payout.

Formula and method

Bonus = Salary × Bonus % ÷ 100 and Net bonus = Bonus × (1 − Tax rate).

Worked example

A 10% bonus on a $60,000 salary is $6,000. With 22% tax you receive $4,680.

Tips

  • Bonuses are often withheld at a higher flat rate but reconciled when you file taxes.
  • Check whether the bonus is on base pay only.

Frequently asked questions

Why is my bonus taxed more heavily?
Withholding on bonuses is often a flat percentage. Any over-payment is refunded when you file your return.
