Employers are required to withhold the additional Medicare Tax at a 0.9 percent rate on wages and other compensation it pays to an employee in excess of $200,000 in a calendar year. There is no employer match for the additional Medicare Tax.
FICA withholding is calculated based upon an established taxation rate. For 2012, the rate of Social Security withholding was 4.2 percent up to a limit of $4,624.20. Medicare withholding was 1.45 percent. The base amount of income taxable for FICA is referred to as the Social Security wage base. For 2012, the base was $110,100, as stated by the Social Security Administration. The increase of average national wages results in an increase of the Social Security wage base.
