The calculator applies your W-4 allowances and filing status to determine withholding.

What are FICA taxes (Social Security & Medicare)?

FICA taxes fund Social Security and Medicare:

  • Social Security: 6.2% of gross pay up to $168,600 (2025 limit)
  • Medicare: 1.45% of all gross pay (no limit)
  • Additional 0.9% Medicare surtax for high earners ($200k+ single, $250k+ married)

Your employer matches these amounts for a total of 15.3%.

What pre-tax deductions reduce my taxable income?

  • Bi-Weekly: 26 paychecks per year (every 2 weeks)
