The additional tax rate is 0.9% on employee income (employers do not have to contribute to this additional tax). The additional Medicare tax is effective for income over a specific level, depending on the individual's federal income tax filing status.
Since 2013, employers have also had to withhold an additional 0.9 percent Medicare tax for annual wages paid to an employee in excess of $200,000 ($250,000 for employees who are married and file taxes jointly). However, there is no employer match required for the additional Medicare tax. Beyond these taxes, employers are also solely responsible for paying the federal unemployment tax (FUTA) to help fund the nation's unemployment insurance system. There is also the state unemployment tax that subject employers must pay.
