Don’t forget that the $10k bonus is pre tax so they’ll be looking at $6k.
Unless that ATC is making over $197k they would keep $7600 of the bonus as up-to $197k annual income the tax rate is only 24% for 2025. Yes, the bonus withholding rate is higher, but when they file at the end of the year, they’d get back that difference in the withholding rate vs the income tax rate.







okay, fine.
6.2% of 10000 is $620
1.2% of 10000 is $120
8 states don’t have income tax.
So closer to $6860.
So closer to $7,600 than $6,000.
