In addition to the answer above, fica tax is composed of social security and medicare. The breakdown is social security 6.2% and medicare is 1.45%. Social security tax has a limit. The limit for 2009 is $106,000. Even though an employee may have reached their social security tax limit, they still need to pay medicare tax.
