To calculate the FICA taxes on an annual income of $47,000, you would apply the Social Security tax of 6.2% and the Medicare tax of 1.45%. For Social Security, you'd pay 0.062 × $47,000 = $2,914. For Medicare, you'd pay 0.0145 × $47,000 = $681.50. Therefore, the total FICA tax you would pay per year is $2,914 + $681.50 = $3,595.50.
To calculate Felicia's contributions to Social Security and Medicare, we need to find 6.2% and 1.45% of her annual income of $38,550. Social Security contribution: ( 0.062 \times 38550 = 2390.70 ) Medicare contribution: ( 0.0145 \times 38550 = 560.48 ) Adding these together, Felicia will pay a total of approximately $2,951.18 toward Social Security and Medicare.

Always check the latest Medicare guidelines for any updates or changes.
