Did some tax package pass and get instated already that literally no one but you knows about?

Also, the highest bracket is 37% which kicks in at >523,600. So even if you are at the highest bracket, I really don't give af about you and your ~600k salary.

OP is either lying, misunderstanding, or subtly bragging about a bonus north of $1 million.

The people in here saying all bonuses are auto taxed at 40% are just dumb.

It's easier to just lurk and watch the show.

Eta
OP may contribute something like 15% of his gross to a retirement account. Factoring that in with the likelihood that his employer uses the common flat tax rate method for bonus payouts, which would be 22% plus the standard 8.5% for Medicare and SS, combined with the incorrect tax liability calculation of net/gross (without accounting for the retirement contribution), he'd probably land somewhere around 58% take home which would lead him to believe taxes were 42%.

Just spit balling here.
