Bonus and profit share taxing

So I get bonuses and profit share from my job. And by my understanding bonus and profit share gets taxed different (heavier). But it’s the federal tax withholding that is taxed higher. Googled it but I’m having trouble figuring out if I’m making less off bonuses or not. So am I actually loosing money or do I just get more back on my income tax? Please help me understand if I’m actually making less or not. I’m not a tax expert. Just trying to figure out how it all works. I work for a very bonus driven company. It’s nice but not guaranteed pay. I’ve also been told the “you make X amount more an hour due to bonuses.” I’m in the US.
