Around 13%

It should be no more than 28% of monthly gross

That's oddly specific. Why not 29.5%?

34% of total cash take-home pay from base salary (excluding bonus)

Assumes I keep 57 cents on every dollar after taxes, retirement, insurance, etc.

True. But measuring off of gross isn’t as useful is it?

I know I have to somehow return the second bonus to the firm. Does anyone know how taxes work on this? As both the bonuses were tax deducted prior to deposit, when I return amount do I need to pay back the withheld taxes to the firm as well? Asking as the amount is big and don’t want to go in the IRS route. TIA.
