When you have one employer the amount of FICA Old Age Survivor and Disability Insurance for your social security would stop once your wages with the withheld social security amount reach 106800 and social security amount withheld would be 6621.60. You do NOT have any cap LIMIT on the MEDICARE insurance contribution amount. The Employer Medicare 1.45% and the employee 1.45% the total medicare insurance amount of 3.9% will continue to be paid on all of you wages that are subject to the medicare insurance tax.
