The bi-weekly deduction for Social Security and Medicare is $90.27.
Since you receive a base salary of $ 14.75 per hour with time-and-a-half for hours in excess of 40 hours per week, and you are paid every two weeks, and Social Security and Medicare are deducted from your pay, and Social Security tax is 6.2% of the gross pay, and Medicare tax is 1.45% of the gross pay, to determine what is the bi-weekly (every two weeks) deduction for Social Security and Medicare, the following calculation must be performed:
- (14.75 x 40 x 2) x ((1.45 + 6.2) / 100) = X
- 1180 x 0.0765 = X
- 90.27 = X
Therefore, the bi-weekly deduction for Social Security and Medicare is $90.27.
