How much tax is withheld from a Powerball prize?

It depends on the ticket purchase jurisdiction, prize amount and winner status. This calculator applies the selected official payout rule as an estimate.

Is this the winner's final tax bill?

No. Tax residence, treaties, shared ownership and later investment income can change the final result.
