FICA, or the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, requires employees to pay a payroll tax that funds Social Security and Medicare. As of 2023, the total FICA tax rate is 7.65%, which consists of 6.2% for Social Security (on income up to a certain limit) and 1.45% for Medicare (with no income cap). Employers also contribute an equal amount, making the total contribution 15.3%. Self-employed individuals pay the full 15.3% themselves, though they can deduct the employer portion when calculating their taxable income.

Quinton has a gross income of 2741.67 during each pay period in 2009 he got paid monthly. how much of his pay was deducted for FICA in 2009?

FICA taxes consist of Social Security and Medicare taxes. In 2009, the Social Security tax rate was 6.2% and the Medicare tax rate was 1.45%. For Quinton's monthly gross income of $2,741.67, the total FICA deduction would be calculated as follows: FICA Deduction = (6.2% + 1.45%) × $2,741.67 = 7.65% × $2,741.67 ≈ $209.78. Therefore, approximately $209.78 was deducted from his pay for FICA in each pay period.
