Question

Solve the problem using 6.2%, up to $128,400 for Social Security tax and using 1.45%, no wage limit, for Medicare tax.

Answer 1

Based on the Social security tax and the Medicare tax, the amounts for the payroll manager are:

• Social security -  $145.70
• Medicare - $216.78

What are the Social security and Medicare taxes?

The Social Security tax is charged on up to $128,400 and the Payroll manager had a salary of $141,000 so far but only $14,950 this month so the social security tax will be calculated:

= 6.2% x (128,400 - (141,000 - 14,950))

= $145.70

The Medicare tax has no limit:

= 14,950 x 1.45%

= $145.70

Monthly Social security:

= 7,960.80 / 12

= $216.78
