How much are bonuses taxed in NC?

That does not include FICA taxes....which is another 7.65%

Panthro was correct in saying that it would be about 40%.....25% Fed, 7-8% State, 7.65% FICA.

However, there are caps on the SS and FUTA/SUTA portions of FICA. So, depending how much you make overall and when the bonus is paid, FICA could be less than the above amount.

But, the thing to remember is that this is NOT how it is truly "taxed".....it is the amount that is "withheld". The bonus dollars are actually taxed at the same rate as all of your other salary.

SS stops at $117,000 or it used to.

I know (I am an accountant)....which is why I said that the FICA witholding could be less based on how much you make and even when the bonus is paid.

 

Take a person making $400k a year.  If they get their bonus in say Jan....they will have SS deducted from most of it.  However, if they are paid their bonus in April....they would have already met the maximum wages for witholding.

Got any colleagues in Colorado? I'm in need of one.

You're right... None of that was withheld strangely. Is that normal?

It's a method of earned payment that the government takes almost 45% of.

Already explained that bonus $'s are taxed at exactly the same rate as every other dollar you earn. The only difference is how they withold on a bonus payment.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
