What is income tax?

Income tax is a tax applied on individuals or entities concerning income or profit earned by them.

The categories are 6.2% as social security tax 1.45% as Medicare tax 0.9% as Medicare surtax for employees earning more than $200,000

Medicare Tax

6.2% x 165000

= 10230

Social Security Tax

= 1.45% x 165000

= 2392.5

Since 10230+2392.5 = 12622.50

Social security is taxed at 6.5 percent and medicare is taxed at 1.45 percent. it will always be that number unless the government changes it.

The categories are 6.2% as social security tax 1.45% as Medicare tax 0.9% as Medicare surtax for employees earning more than $200,000

As the income of the employee is less than $200000, so there will be no medical surtax.
