How Are Bonuses Taxed in Illinois?

In Illinois, bonuses are classified as supplemental wages by the IRS. Federal taxes are calculated using the aggregate method — your bonus is added to your annual salary to determine your marginal tax bracket, which is more accurate than the flat 22% withholding method.

Illinois withholds approximately 4.95% state income tax on supplemental wages including bonuses. This is in addition to federal income tax and FICA.

2026 Federal Bonus Tax Rates

The IRS optional flat supplemental withholding rate for 2026 is 22% for bonuses under $1 million. However, using the aggregate method (as this calculator does), your effective federal rate depends on your total income and filing status — it may be higher or lower than 22%.
