1. What is One Time Payroll?

One Time Payroll refers to a single payment made to an employee outside of their regular payroll cycle. This can include bonuses, commissions, severance pay, or other one-time compensation that requires separate tax calculation and processing.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the payroll calculation formula:

Where:

• \( One-time\ pay \) — Gross one-time payment amount in dollars
• \( Taxes \) — Calculated tax amount based on specified tax rate

Explanation: The calculator deducts the specified tax percentage from the gross one-time payment to determine the net amount the employee will receive.
