Overview

This calculator models a bonus combined with regular wages using the aggregate wage calculation. An employer may instead use a permitted supplemental-wage method.
A cash bonus generally increases federal and Utah taxable wages and FICA wages for the paycheck. Year-to-date thresholds can matter at higher income.
Compare the result with the employer’s stated bonus method before treating a difference as an error.

Example

A $3,000 bonus with regular biweekly pay

The default adds $3,000 to one regular paycheck. Taxes are recalculated on the combined wages, and the result shows the remaining take-home amount.

Why bonus withholding can look high

A large one-time check can produce more aggregate withholding because payroll annualizes that period’s taxable wages. Withholding is still a payment toward final tax liability.

Benefit deductions, extra W-4 withholding and FICA thresholds can also change the deposit.

What to verify on a bonus pay stub

Check whether the bonus was combined with regular pay, paid separately, or processed with another permitted method. Match the check date, gross bonus and any deductions.

This tool does not recommend how an employer should process supplemental wages.

Assumptions

2020-or-later W-4; employee wages, not self-employment.
Current Utah schedules effective June 1, 2026; annualized allowance method.
No optional deductions or adjustments unless entered; default FICA is an annual average.
