How Bonuses Are Taxed in Texas
At the federal level, bonuses are classified as supplemental wages. Your employer can withhold at a flat 22% rate (37% on amounts over $1 million) or use the aggregate method, which combines your bonus with a regular paycheck to determine withholding. Either way, your actual tax is settled when you file your return.
Because Texas has no state income tax, your bonus is not subject to any additional state withholding. This means more of your bonus stays in your pocket compared to states that tax supplemental wages. Your total bonus deductions are limited to federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare).
Bonuses are also subject to FICA taxes: 6.2% for Social Security (up to the $176,100 wage base in 2025) and 1.45% for Medicare. If your combined salary and bonus exceed $200,000 ($250,000 married filing jointly), an additional 0.9% Medicare tax applies to the amount above the threshold.
