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.
The Medicare tax percentage is 1.45% in 2017. Withhold 1.45% of each employeeâs wages, and contribute the matching employer portion. Medicare taxes provide aid for things like healthcare and hospice care. Letâs look at an example of how much is taken out for Medicare. Your employee is paid $1,000 per pay period. You would withhold $14.50 from their pay for Medicare tax ($1,000 X 1.45%). Also, contribute $14.50 for the matching employer portion.
