If you withdraw money from your 401k plan, it will be taxed just like any other income. So, the amount that you will pay will depend on what tax bracket the withdrawal pushes you into.
If you do not meet one of the exceptions, you will also be subject to a 10% early withdrawal penalty. This penalty is charged by the IRS and it is reported on your tax return for the year of the withdrawal.
So, if you are in a 25% tax bracket and you are subject to the early withdrawal penalty, you are going to pay a total of 35% of the withdrawal in Federal income tax.
If you live in a State that has state income tax, remember that you will need to pay that too.
