If income is earned in the year of full retirement age, the 2008 income threshold is $36,120. If income is earned prior to the year of full retirement age, the 2008 income threshold is $13,560. After those thresholds are reached, social security benefits are reduced.

The excess earnings reduction is $1 of Social Security benefits for every $2 of earnings over the lower threshold for people who are not yet in the year they reach full retirement age. In the year a person reaches full retirement age, the excess earnings reduction is $1 of Social Security benefits for every $3 of earnings over the higher threshold. During the month of reaching full retirement age and thereafter, beneficiaries can earn an unlimited amount without a reduction in their Social Security benefits.

What tax does the government establishes an income cap for each year?

The government establishes an income cap for the Social Security tax, which limits the amount of earnings subject to this payroll tax. Each year, the Social Security Administration sets this cap, which is adjusted based on changes in national average wage levels. Earnings above this cap are not taxed for Social Security purposes, although they may still be subject to other taxes, such as Medicare tax. This cap helps ensure that Social Security funding is balanced with the contributions from higher earners.

How much FICA can come out of your check per year?

FICA taxes, which include Social Security and Medicare taxes, are typically deducted from your paycheck at a combined rate of 7.65%. In 2023, the Social Security portion applies to income up to $160,200, meaning the maximum annual FICA tax for Social Security is about $9,932. The Medicare tax does not have an income cap, so you would continue to pay the 1.45% on all earned income, with an additional 0.9% on income above $200,000 for single filers. Overall, the total FICA tax can vary based on your income, but the maximum contribution to Social Security sets a limit on that portion each year.
