The withholding amount by the employer from your earnings that are subject to the old age survivors disability insurance is 7.65% for the social security and medicare tax amount and the employer matches that amount for a total amount of 15.3%. 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. For a self employed taxpayer the amount would be 15.3% on the net profit from the business operation.

No! Both social security, medicare, and food stamps; are all forms of social welfare.

$2,513. Is this before deductions are taken out for Medicare and Advantage plans?
Yes. Social Security and Medicare are taken out of your income before you see your paycheck. Your employer also pays an additional Social Security and Medicare tax to your account.
