The FICA tax consists of Social Security and Medicare taxes. As of 2023, the Social Security tax rate is 6.2% on earnings up to a certain limit, and the Medicare tax rate is 1.45% on all earnings. For a gross pay of $1,600, the FICA tax would be calculated as follows: Social Security tax would be $99.20 (6.2% of $1,600), and Medicare tax would be $23.20 (1.45% of $1,600), totaling $122.40 in FICA taxes.
