Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA)
Understanding the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA)
FICA contributions are mandatory, and rates are set annually, although not necessarily changed every year—they remained stable between 2020 and 2021, for example. The amount of the FICA payment depends on the income of the employee: the higher the income, the higher the FICA payment.
However, for Social Security contributions there’s a maximum wage base, after which no contributions are levied on additional income. The federal government withholds Social Security taxes up to the annual wage base, which was set at $137,700 in 2020 and $142,800 in 2021.
