For the year 2010, When you have one employer the amount of FICA (OASDI) 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 so the 1.45% amount will continue to be withheld on your earnings over the above limit and will be matched by your employer at the 1.45% amount for a total 3.90% of all of your earned income for the year.
