Self-employment lasts a lifetime for some individuals, and payment of Federal Income Contributions Act taxes, or FICA taxes, becomes a quarterly or yearly process. These are Social Security taxes, your future retirement income. The rate in 2010 totals 15.3 percent or 6.2 percent for Social Security and 1.45 percent for Medicare. The rate may change with new legislation. Because you are both employer and employee, you pay double the amount but subtract some of it from your income taxes.
