Luckily severance comes after end of year. I am trying to find out what the supplemental tax rate is (for 2017, or for 2016 as a guide) and whether I can lower the amount taken out of the severance pay by changing my W4 before the end of the year. I do not want the government to take out half or more of my severance.

If you received severance pay, including payment for unused vacation or sick days, those
amounts are fully taxable to you in 2017. Those amounts will be
included on the W-2 form you receive from your former employer.
It is likely that will be tax law changes in 2017, but we don't know yet what they will be. But see this:
and remember your State taxes.
