I started a new job and the offer seemed too good to be true. I’ve been working for 2 weeks and haven’t received my first pay, but it’s due tomorrow.

I agreed to a 110k salary and a 10,000 signing bonus.

My anticipated pay check stub on the payment app says I’ll get 8626.95.

Calculating my pay after taxes biweekly in my state should be 3230.00.

8626.95 - 3230 is 5396. Is my bonus really getting taxed at nearly 50 percent?

Or is this stub that I’m seeing for 8626.95 only my for the bonus? My math could be off but I feel like I’m getting burned between bonus and my salary.

I’m just trying to sus out if I can trust these folks? This is the most money I’ve seen in my life. Any input helps.

Edit: I can’t spell.
