How to use it
A quick estimate, without the spreadsheet.
Inputs and units
Enter annual salary, bonus percentage and an estimated withholding percentage.
Formula
Gross bonus = salary × bonus / 100; net estimate = gross bonus × (1 − withholding / 100).
Worked example
$50,000 salary with a 10% bonus and 20% withholding gives $5,000 gross and $4,000 net.
Assumptions and limitations
Withholding is an input assumption, not your final tax liability. Include all relevant withholding in your chosen percentage; the tool does not apply payroll tax rules.
For federal withholding, consult the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator.
