$10,000 of new income will be taxed at your top rate, which could be 10%, 12%, 22%, 24% or higher. Plus state taxes. Owing $2500 on $10,000 of income (25%) is certainly possible for combined state and federal taxes. The only way to actually see the math is to print your last year and this year forms and compare them side by side.

2019 tax brackets are here. https://thecollegeinvestor.com/21804/federal-tax-brackets/

If, after subtracting your standard or itemized deductions from your gross income, your taxable income is more than $84,000 (single) or $166,000 (married) then any new income will be taxed at 24%.
