I don't think that's how it works. Bonus income is just normal income (for individuals), its taxed the same way the rest of your salary is.


We really should have a sticky explaining how marginal tax rates work.

This is not only about how tax rates work, it is also about what is being withheld in the check. The tax rates and the rate of withholding don't always equate(obviously I know). Bonus checks are often the worst example of this because withholding 25%(I believe, but somewhere around there) is easier, normal, and allowed.
