Each annual annuity payment increases by 5% from the previous year.
For clarity, we assumed that payments 1 and 2 are made in separate tax years.
The lottery automatically withholds 24% of each payment for federal taxes. When you file your taxes, you will be responsible for the difference between that withholding and what you owe to the IRS.
In some states, the lottery also withholds a portion of annual payments for state taxes.
The highest federal tax bracket of 37% is assumed for these examples because all Powerball jackpot winners will fall into this category.
Tax estimates are based on jackpot income only and do not include any other taxes you may owe.
We assume single state residency only and do not consider non-state resident tax. In the situation when the winner resides in a different state than the one where the winnings were registered, additional state taxes may be added.
This calculator is intended to provide an estimate of taxes, but should not be considered tax advice. We do not take responsibility for any inaccuracies or omissions.
Consult with a professional tax advisor and accountant to avoid any surprise tax bills.
Federal and/or state tax rates may change during the annuity schedule, which could affect how much you owe.
