The Social SecurityAdminstration issued the inflation adjusted FICA base for 2009; it will be $106,800. That means an employee's 6.2% FICA tax for 2009 will top out at $6,621.60. The 1.45% Medicare component has no wage limit. Employers pay a matching tax. Self-employed taxpayers pay both sides of the FICA tax through their self-empoyment tax.
