Example 4-12

GROSSING-UP. Cotter Company wants to award a $4,000 bonus to Donna D'Amico. In addition, it wants the net bonus payment to equal $4,000. Assuming D'Amico is still under the OASDI/FICA limit, the calculation would be:

A. $4,000
1 – 0.22 (supplemental W/H rate) – 0.062 (OASDI) – 0.0145 (HI)
B. $4,000 = $5,685.86 grossed-up bonus
0.7035
C.   Gross bonus amount $5,685.85*
  Federal Income Tax withheld 1,250.89
  OASDI tax withheld 352.52
  HI tax withheld 82.44
  Take-home bonus check $4,000.00

If state or local taxes apply, they must also be included in the formula.

*Need to subtract $0.01 from $5,685.86 in order to arrive at $4,000.00 (due to rounding).

Mattola Company is giving each of its employees a holiday bonus of $100 on December 13, 20-- (a nonpayday). The company wants each employee's check to be $100. The supplemental tax percent is used.

Nobody has capped for OASDI prior to the bonus check.

a.  What will be the gross amount of each bonus if each employee pays a state income tax of 2.8% (besides the other payroll taxes)?

You may need to add one penny to the gross so that net bonus is exactly $100.00. Round your calculations and final answers to the nearest cent.
