Best Answer

The tax rate is exactly the same for bonuses or overtime as it is for every other paycheck you receive during the year. When you have a quarterly bonus or some such increase like this during the year it causes the withholding amount to increase. The reason for this is that the withholding tax tables are set based on your pay period (weekly, biweekly, monthly). Say you normally make $1000 every two weeks and you get a bonus of $1000 that is added to you pay check. The tax table assumes that the total of $2000 is your income for a two week period so it takes out a good deal more withholding that period. This makes people think the rates is higher for bonuses or overtime but it isn't. You tax return at the end of the year is based on your total income and it doesn't make any difference whether your paid weekly or get one check per year your tax is the same.
