Answer:

14379.50

Step-by-step explanation:

If I remember correctly, the Medicare tax is taken on Gross Income. The question has already limited the base amount for Social Security.

<em><u>Social Security:</u></em> 118,500 * 6.2/100 =   7347

Medicare Tax:    485,000*1.45/100 =  <u>7032.50</u>    Add

Add                                                       14379.50

Sonny paid 14370 in taxes for these 2 items.

Answer:

$14,379.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

  • Sonny Siebert Income: $485,000
  • Social Security tax rate: 6.2%  up to $118,500
  • Medicare tax of 1.45%

As we know that, the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) is made up of two items, Social Security and Medicare taxes.

So

Social Security tax: $118,500*6.2% = $7347

Medicare tax: $485,000*1.45% = $732.5

=> the amount of  FICA taxes as a rookie pitcher she needs to pay is:

= $7347 + $732.5

= $14,379.50

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:
