taxation of bonus? help?

Hi All

I have a question about income tax which I hope you can help me with...

I am on a salary of 35k, and this month got a bonus of 4k....

I got my salary docket and couldnt beleive half my bonus went on tax...

Usual monthly gross pay is 2961k / net pay is 2349k (total deductions of 612 euro monthly)

This month net gross pay is 6961 / net pay 4239 (total deductions of 2692k for one month)

I don't know a huge amount about income taxation but does that sound about right? 2k of 4k bonus gone on tax?

Would really really appreciate if someone could let me know?

Thanks!

That's about right !
I got a 600 euro bonus and from that I got 300 euro out of it in my wages. Strangley enough the following month I got an extra 160 euro some reason

Hi MissMarble,

Your figures tally exactly with my spreadsheet tax calculator (assuming that you are taxed as a single person with standard tax details)- feel free to download it at http://taxcalc.eu/monthlyss to check any such salary queries out.
