What is PAYG tax?

Although PAYG (Pay As You Go) is called a "withholding tax," it is not a tax but a procedure for withholding projected income tax liabilities as money is earned. Under that plan, the taxpayer prepays taxes in installments, usually paycheck-by-paycheck. In the U.S., prepaying federal income taxes began in 1943, when tax legislation created the first federal requirements for the payroll withholding "tax" and for estimated tax payments.

The 7.65% amount is matched by your employer for a total of 15.3% contribution to the SSA insurance trustee.
