How It Works
FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) funds Social Security and Medicare. Employees pay 6.2% for Social Security on wages up to $168,600 (2025 cap) and 1.45% for Medicare on all wages. High earners pay an additional 0.9% Medicare surtax on wages over $200,000. Self-employed individuals pay both the employee and employer portions (12.4% SS + 2.9% Medicare).
