<prompt> Human: I live in NYC, and granted taxes are generally higher here; I pay a city tax on top of everything. But I still dont understand how my bonus can be taxed at 48. I make 80k a year plus my bonus, and pay a substantially lower tax rate on my ordinary income.Curious what others bonus tax rates are out there...  <response>: 25 supplemental withholding for the feds, 6.2 FICA, 1.45 medicare, 9.62 suppl wh for NYS, 5 suppl wh for NYC.Youll get back any overwithheld taxes later in the year, but this is how supplemental pay works.
