- This is the percentage method, used when a bonus is paid separately from regular wages. If your employer adds the bonus to a regular paycheck, withholding comes from the normal tables and can be higher or lower.
- Withholding is not your final tax. A bonus is ordinary income on your return, and the flat 22% is often more than a middle-income earner owes, so part comes back as a refund.
- Oklahoma does not set a flat bonus rate. Employers usually combine the bonus with regular pay, so the estimate uses your marginal rate at the salary you entered.

What to do next
How it works
The IRS lets employers withhold a flat 22% on supplemental wages such as bonuses when they are paid separately. Social Security and Medicare apply as usual. Oklahoma has no flat rate, so the calculator estimates state tax at the marginal rate for the salary you enter.
Things to keep in mind
If your employer folds the bonus into a regular paycheck, withholding uses the normal tables on the combined amount, which can take out more in that period. Either way the final tax is settled on your return.
Bonuses over $1 million in a year are withheld at 37% federal on the excess. Social Security stops once your wages for the year pass $184,500.

Frequently asked questions
How are bonuses taxed in Oklahoma?
Federal withholding at 22% and FICA at 7.65%. Oklahoma does not publish a flat supplemental rate, so employers usually add the bonus to regular wages and withhold from the normal tables.
Is the bonus really taxed at that rate?
No. Withholding is a prepayment. On your return the bonus is ordinary income taxed at your bracket. If 22% plus state is more than your actual rate, the difference comes back as a refund.
Can I reduce the tax on my bonus?
Putting part of it into a traditional 401(k) lowers federal and most state income tax on it, though not Social Security and Medicare. Ask payroll before the bonus is paid.
What is the Oklahoma supplemental wage rate?
Oklahoma has not set one. The aggregate method, which combines the bonus with your regular paycheck, is used instead.
