I didn't do the math, but I assumed a $15k+ bonus (which combined with his normal income would pro-rate out to the 35%+ bracket) plus SS and Medicare, which would put him somewhere in that neighborhood, at least in theory.

But with that said, while I know more than the average bear about taxes and withholding, I know shite about frick in the grand scheme of things, so you're vastly more likely to be right

It's possible they use that method, but it's not as common because it's a pain in the arse for the employer and almost always unnecessarily withholds more than is necessary, so it's kind of a lose-lose. I was assuming that wasn't the case but I could be wrong. In that case, it could hit 42% depending on a lot more variables.
