I would agree with you if they taxed bonuses at 100%. But they don't. You will still take home a large albeit heavily taxed check.

Taxed up front then when you file your return you will be taxed at your filed rate. So if you are under the highest bracket you will get money back.

Partially correct. Bonus money is taxed at 22% regardless of how much the bonus is. So most would owe, not get a refund.

Partially correct. They can also use the aggregate method to determine the taxes on bonuses. That method can easily put a large bonus in the 37% bracket.

Highly doubt anyone at FDX will be getting withheld at that rate. But ok.

Really, well let's do the math. For the aggregate method, you take the monthly pay plus the bonus and multiply that by 12.

If you were here for the entire amendable period, you would currently be on 4th year pay. The company's last offer was a 22% pay increase on DOS. That would put a 757 FO at $202 per hour.

Now, let's say that the APRP for that FO was $50,000 over the 3+ years since the amendable date. Even at min BLG, the monthly pay for the aggregate method would be (68*202)+50,000. That would come up to $63,736. Multiply that by 12 months and you get a yearly taxable income of $764,832 which is above the threshold for the 37% tax rate.

I understand how it works. I’m simply saying I highly doubt FDX will opt to withhold that way when all of us who received retro at other airlines were withheld at the 22% flat rate.

Do you? So you conveniently left out the aggregate method and implied that the percentage method is the only method?

So, what airline do you work for. As many posts as you make on the Fedex thread, you'd think you work for us.

IME, Fedex typically takes the max withholding on large bonuses.
