Lateral Signing Bonus - Tax Question

Current A1. Lateraling over to another bank at the end of this month after 6 months at my old firm. New firm is giving me a signing bonus inclusive of the 6-month pro-rated bonus I accrued at my previous firm.

What is the tax rate on this signing bonus I should expect?
