<h3>What is FICA Tax?</h3>
FICA Tax is a Federal Insurance Contributions Act Tax. This tax is levied on every payroll of employees to fund Social Security and Medicare programs. This is divided into two parts:

- Medicare Tax which is 1.45%. The total is 7.65%
How to calculate Tonja's Tax before deduction
Federal Tax rate first level is 10% on 0$ - $19,900.
1) Hence, the first tax is 10% on $600, which is $60
2) The next tax is FICA. This is applied to the Gross Pay of $600.
Applying both taxed under FICA we have 7.65% * $600 = $45.9
Total Tax before a deduction is:
$60 + $45.9 = $105.6
The Tax Payable if childcare expenses is deducted first will be:
10% on $450 = $45
7.65% on $450 = $34.43
Total = $79.43
Hence the tax savings will be:
105.6 - 79.43 = $26.17
