Bonuses and supplemental wages in New Mexico
Bonuses and other supplemental wages are frequently withheld differently from regular pay, and states set their own rules. This calculator applies New Mexico's regular withholding to every dollar and does not model a separate supplemental rate, so a bonus paycheck can come out higher or lower than the figure above. Federal supplemental withholding is a flat 22% up to $1 million; for New Mexico's own treatment, check the state authority linked below.
For the federal half, which this site does model, compare what withholding takes from a bonus against what you actually owe — the 22% flat rate is withholding, not a tax bill, and the difference comes back at filing.
