The Social Security wage base for 2013 is $113,700.... Effective January 1, 2013, the Medicare tax rate applicable to wages in excess of $200,000 ($250,000 for married individuals filing jointly; $125,000 for married individuals filing separately) will increase to 2.35%. Employers are required to withhold and report Medicare tax at the 2.35% rate on all wages over $200,000 with respect to their employees. The Medicare tax on wages of $200,000 or less will remain at the 1.45% rate."  MORE >>
