Supplemental Wages
The tax rate for supplemental wages (bonus runs) is 37% when the bonus amount is over a million dollars. Otherwise, the rate is 22%.
Automatically Calculated Variables
Vision automatically computes the allowance, which is used in calculating the net income tax.
Allowance
The Allowance is based on the number of withholding exemptions entered in the first Exemptions field. It is determined by multiplying the number of exemptions by $4,300.
Nonresident Alien
The nonresident alien adjustment amount is one of the following:
- $10,300: This is the amount if the employee was first paid wages before 2020 and has not submitted a Form W-4 for 2020 or later.
- $14,600: This is the amount if the employee was first paid wages in 2020 or later, or has submitted a Form W-4 for 2020 or later.
How Vision Calculates Tax
To calculate an employee's Federal tax, Vision does the following:
- Multiplies the employee's gross pay per pay period by the number of pay periods in a year to determine annualized gross wages.
- Subtracts the employee's allowance, 401(k) Plan contributions, and 125/Cafeteria Plan contributions from the employee's gross wages for the pay period to determine taxable income.
- Calculates the net income tax using Tax Calculation Method 1.
- Divides the net income tax by the number of pay periods in a year to determine the amount to be withheld for the pay period.
