What is deducted from a workers pay check to fund social security and medicare?
In most years, your employer will deduct the following from your paycheck: Social Security: 6.2% of your gross pay Medicare: 1.45% of your gross pay However, in 2011 Obama signed into a law a "payroll tax holiday" as part of the continued effort to stimulate the economy. For 2011 only, the social security tax coming out of your paycheck is 4.2% instead of 6.2%, meaning that this year you will take home more money than you would in a "normal" year. Your employer matches these amounts too -- they pay another 6.2% for social security, and another 1.45% for Medicare. Under the payroll tax holiday, only your portion of social security is reduced to 4.2% -- your employer is still paying 6.2% of your pay into social security for you.

Will dividends and capital gains affect social security payments?
In general, the size of our Social Security retirement checks will depend on your lifetime earnings record and the age that you begin collecting your benefits. If you start collecting payments prior to reaching your Full Retirement Age (FRA) which for the most part is 66 or 67, depending on your year of birth, the amount of any work earnings beyond a certain threshold ($15,480 in 2014) will lead to a reduction in your benefit amount. However, Social Security's definition of earnings counts amounts you earn from working as an employee or net income from your self-employment, but not dividends and/or capital gains from your investments. So in a nutshell, dividends and capital gains do not affect your Social Security payments.
