According to reliable sources online, the FICA rate last 2010 amounted to 6.2%. The amount deducted to Eleanor's pay monthly is calculated by multiplying the monthly pay and the rate. That is, FICA (monthly) = ($2,478.15)(0.062) = $153.636 Multiplying that amount by 12 (since there are 12 months in a year) is equal to $1843.632. Thus, $1843.632 was deducted from Eleanor's pay last 2010 for FICA.
