You do not have anyone withholding social security and medicare taxes from a self employed taxpayer income.
If you are a self employed taxpayer then you are responsible for all of your own FICA self employment taxes of 15.3% plus any income taxes on your net profit from your business operation at your marginal tax rate.
Your first 106800 maximum amount of net profit from the business operation will be subject to the social security tax and your maximum social security payment amount would be 6621.60
All of your net profit from your business operation will be subject to the Medicare tax of 2.90% with no cap.

Do you pay both income tax and self employment tax because you are self employed?
Yes. The "self-employment tax" is actually the Social Security and Medicare tax. If you work for someone else, you would have Social Security and Medicare tax taken out of your paycheck and your employer would match the amounts that were taken out. When you are self-employed, instead of having these amounts taken out of your paycheck, you pay both the employee and the employer share directly to the government.

These taxes often come as a major shock to the newly self-employed. SE income is usually calculated on Form 1040 Schedule C. SE tax is calculated on Form 1040 Schedule SE.
