If you get a bonus, that might be taxed withheld at 50% because payroll is too lazy to figure out your taxes. You get the remainder back when you file your taxes. (Note this may mean you owe $200 at the end of the year instead of owing $1000. That still counts as you “getting” $800.)

That must be before other, additional payroll taxes.

Yeah add SS and Medicare to that if you're not capped already. And of course any state taxe
