Actually, withholding is basically in your control, through the W-4. You could have 100% of your pay withheld if you wanted...which some people actually do..if they have a lot of income from other sources...or if they file with a spouse that does.

What is the tax withholding percentage deducted depending on the amount of gross pay earned?

All tax the is withheld from your paycheck is based on your gross income for the pay period. The percentage for FICA for the employee is 6.2% and for Medicare tax is 1.45% of your gross income. Now the State and Federal Income tax withheld is based on your gross income but is not just a percentage. There are tax tables that give the amount to be withheld and it takes into account the filing status of the employee and the number of exemptions he/she claims on their W-4 form. The employee can also have additional flat amounts withheld in addition to the tax table amounts. The taxpayer can also claim exempt from Federal and/or State withholding if they did not owe any tax in the previous year and do not expect to have any tax due in the current year. The employee is completely responsible for these actions. The employer matches the FICA and Medicare Taxes that are withheld from the paycheck, so in effect the employer and employee each pay half of these taxes.
