The taxes that both employees and employers pay on salaries, wages, and tips are referred to as payroll taxes. Employers deduct taxes from employee paychecks and send the money to the government. Along with the employee's part of Social Security and Medicare taxes, these levies also include federal, state, and local income taxes (FICA). Employers are responsible for paying both federal and state unemployment taxes, as well as their portion of FICA.
Social security tax withheld = $147,000 * 6.2% = $9,114
Medicare tax withheld = $155000 * 1.45% = $2247.5
Payroll tax withheld = Social Security tax withheld + Medicare tax withheld = 9,114 + 2247.5 = $11,361.5
