Social Security and Medicare (FICA) Tax Deductions. FICA refers to the combined taxes withheld for Social Security and Medicare (FICA stands for the Federal Insurance Contributions Act). On your pay statement, Social Security taxes are referred to as OASDI, for Old Age Survivor and Disability Insurance. Medicare is shown as Fed Med/EE.
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.
