Medicare taxes are imposed at a flat tax rate of 2.9% on wages, salaries, and business or farming income earned by self-employed individuals. 1  There's no limit on the amount wages subject to Medicare taxes, unlike the annual wage limit for Social Security taxes. The Medicare hospital insurance tax is paid half by employees through payroll deductions and half by the employer. Accordingly, employees pay a Medicare tax rate of 1.45% (half of the 2.9% rate). Self-employed persons pay both halves of the Medicare tax since they are both the employee and the employer.
