Yes. The earnings paid toward Social Security and Medicare (FICA) is shown in boxes 4 and 6 on the right side of your W2. Box 4 says "Social Security Tax Withheld"; box 6 says "Medicare Tax Withheld." FICA is withheld at a flat rate of 7.65% of the first $106,800 of gross annual wages, and is matched dollar-for-dollar by your employer, for a total of 15.3% of your income. Part of your contribution (6.2%) goes toward Social Security, and part (1.45%) toward Medicare Part A (hospitalization) insurance. Your employer contributes to your state's Unemployment Insurance. The percentage varies and is shown on the employers' taxes, not the employees'.
