I just received an offer letter that reads, "a starting bonus of $2,000, minus taxes". Do I get the full $2k?

No. Social Security, Medicare and Federal Income Taxes will be withheld. The FIT will be withheld at the statutory rate of 25%. This withholding rate applies to all bonuses and irregular payments. SS and MED are withheld at the standard combined rate of 7.65% If your state also levies an income tax, state income tax may be withheld as well.

Assuming no SITW, the total withholding will be 32.65% and your net bonus will be $1,347.00. SITW will reduce that further depending upon your state.

Duh, minus taxes means 2K MINUS taxes = less than 2K.

No - notice minus taxes comes after the $2,000. Confusing but you still don't get the full $2 grand.

No, taxes are taken out. That's what "minus taxes" means.


Rick B
No, you get the $2,000 minus taxes (just like it says!!!)


delilah
of course not. minus taxes means $2000 - taxes, taxes are around 22%, so you'll be getting 2000-440=1560, around $1560.


Mathew
It would sounds to me like they intend on withholding all of the normal withholding taxes, (SS, Medicare, SDI, income tax withholding).

bostonianinmo is partially correct about the 25% withholdling. If supplemental wages are under $1,000, employers have the OPTION of withholding at a flat 25% rate OR adding the amount to regular wages for your first paycheck and withholding at the regular rate. (Pub 15, page 13). Because the total is >$1,000, the flat rate is 35% instead of 25%. (Pub 15, page 12). I would expect a check for $1,300. ($2,000 - 35%)

2000 MINUS taxes. Duh.


shiprepairwoman
The $2,000 is the gross they will deduct Fica and withholding tax so your net depends on your W-4

You will get $2,000 less whatever you would be taxed based on how you complete your W-4 along with SSI, Medicare, etc.

If your salary is $50,000 you aren't going to actually receive that full amount for the year- same idea.

No, you'll probably end up with somewhere between $1200 and $1500. They'll take out $153 for social security and medicare, probably $400-$500 for federal income tax. Depending on where you live, there might also be state and/or local taxes taken out. It's no different from salary - they state what your gross is, then taxes come out of that.

no you don't... it's very rarely that they would give you a solid number...


SelfShal
The first responder is incorrect. You get the $2000 minus the taxes that are owed on it. They take the taxes out just like they would a regular paycheck. So, whatever taxes you would normally pay on $2,000 in income would come out of it.

Minus taxes, bonuses are taxed at a higher rate would figure you will about 36-38%


answergeek
