In 2009, the FICA tax rate for Social Security was 6.2% on earnings up to $106,800, while the Medicare tax rate was 1.45% with no income limit. Therefore, the total FICA tax rate for most employees was 7.65% on their gross wages. Self-employed individuals paid a combined rate of 15.3%, which included both the employee and employer portions.
