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.

What percentage does social security extract from your money each year?
Social Security (FICA) is paid at a total of 15.30% of appropriate wages...however half of that is paid by the employer and half by the employee. Also, the amount to be paid stops (except as below) at a predetermined maximum wage amount...that amount changes yearly on an index...for 2007 it is $97,500 and 2008 it is $112,000...hence no contribution on earning above those amounts. The cap on taxable wage does not apply to the small (about 1.4%) of the FICA contribution that is for the Medical portion. There is no cap on this.
