All the grunt MOS's are closing out so I'm kind of fucked. Not like we get anywhere near 71K to reenlist anyways. I'd be lucky to get a quarter of that the way things are going with the budgets being cut.

As a married E-5 with no children and claiming 0 in withholdings on my federal taxes I got just a bit over 60K in the bank when I re-enlisted (Bonus was $81,000). As with everything though there is variables. I pay no state taxes, thank you Texas. So I hope this gives you a good idea of what to expect, but don't go crazy because if you are married and your wife works and has a reportable income like mine does. It may put you in a whole different tax bracket and they may come after you for a little more of that bonus when tax time comes. Just a heads up, because that one snuck up on me and bit me in the ***.

USMC bonuses in CONUS are calculated by using the FITW flat rate of 25% and the flat rate of your state if taxed by state. I can give you your actual payment if you'd like help. I'm not guessing here like some of the above... this is the actual way USMC bonuses are calculated.

Hmm I dont want to be the one to squash your good news. But I got my sign on bonus taxed while I was over seas, it all depends on where you actually signed up/re up. Tax is 25%, wtf is your MOS in the Marines to be getting 71k?
