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 Tax Withholding. The second type of federal tax which employers are required to withhold from their employees' payroll checks is the Federal Insurance Contribution Act (FICA) tax. The FICA tax includes contributions to two federal programs, Social Security and Medicare. The tax rate for FICA taxes does not often change but the earnings on which those taxes are applied changes from year to year. In 2006, full FICA taxes of 7.65 percent were due on the first $94,200 earned. Only the Medicare portion of the FICA tax, 1.45 percent, was due on earnings over $94,200.
