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.

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.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
