How state tax is estimated
We estimate the state income tax you'll owe for the year — wages, minus pre-tax deductions your state allows, minus its standard deduction and exemptions — then apply the state's 2026 brackets and credits, and divide by your number of paychecks. Your employer's withholding uses each state's own formula, so individual paychecks can differ by a few dollars. Employee-paid state programs (disability insurance, paid family leave and similar) are shown separately with their wage caps.

Bonuses and other supplemental pay
Federal withholding on a bonus paid separately is usually a flat 22% (37% on supplemental pay over $1 million in a year). Georgia doesn't publish a single flat rate we could confirm, so employers typically add the bonus to regular pay for the period when working out state withholding. Use the bonus tax calculator to see what a bonus check will look like.
What this estimate leaves out
- Doesn't include Georgia's new exclusions for up to $1,750 of overtime and $1,750 of tips, or the low-income credit.
