Just How Much Does an Employer Pay in Payroll Taxes?

您知道付钱的人是有代价的。除了给员工的薪水外,您还需要支付工资税费用。那么,雇主支付薪资税多少?继续阅读以了解有关雇主工资税费用的更多信息。

How much do employers pay in payroll taxes?

那么,工资税是多少?的代价payroll taxes很大程度上取决于您拥有的员工人数以及您向员工付款多少。为什么?因为工资税是每个员工总应税工资的百分比,而不是固定的美元金额。

工资单tax includes two specific taxes: Social Security and Medicare taxes. Both taxes fall under the联邦保险法(FICA), and employersandemployees pay these taxes.

工资税百分比为员工总应税工资的15.3%。总体而言,社会保障率为12.4%,医疗保险为2.9%,但税收平均分配在雇员和雇主之间。

So, how much is the employer cost of payroll taxes? Employer payroll tax rates are 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare.

如果您是自雇人士,则必须支付全部15.3%的FICA税,以及如果适用的话,请加上额外的Medicare税(我们将在一分钟内完成)。

How much employers pay in payroll taxes is 7.65% of gross taxable wages for the total FICA contribution. The Social Security portion of FICA is 6.2% of gross taxable wages. The Medicare portion of FICA is 1.45% of gross taxable wages. Self-employed? Pay the full portion of FICA tax, which is 15.3% of gross taxable wages.

Social Security

Social Security taxes工资基数。在2021年,此工资基础为$ 142,800。工资基地意味着当员工收入超过142,800美元时,您停止预扣和缴纳社会保障税。

由于工资基础,雇主在2021年雇员的最高金额为9,139.20美元($ 142,800 x 6.2%)。

看看一个例子。假设您有一个每两周赚2,000美元的员工:

$ 2,000 x 6.2%= $ 124

The employer cost of payroll tax is $124.

Keep in mind that some pre-tax deductions (e.g., Section 125 plans) can lower the gross taxable wages and impact how much you contribute per employee paycheck.

例如,一名每两周毛工资总额为$ 1,500和500 $ 125扣除的雇员的总应税工资为1,000美元(1,500美元 - $ 500)。因此,您以$ 1,000而不是$ 1,500计算社会保险:

$1,000 X 6.2% = $62

雇主的社会保障税费用为62美元。

Medicare

Unlike Social Security,Medicare taxes不要工资基数。相反,医疗保险有一个additional withholding tax for employees who earn more than a set amount. In 2021, this base amount is $200,000 (single). Therefore, employees who earn more than $200,000 in 2021 pay 1.45% and an additional 0.9% to Medicare.

Do employers pay the additional Medicare tax? No, employers only pay 1.45%, even if an employee earns more than $200,000. Additional Medicare tax only applies to employees.

For example, an employee earns $250,000 per year, so the employee pays 1.45% on the $250,000 in wages, plus 0.9% on the $50,000 over $200,000.

计算整个总工资的医疗保险税:

$ 250,000 x 1.45%= $ 3,625

As the employer, you only pay $3,625 for Medicare taxes on the employee’s $250,000.

Because the employee pays the additional Medicare tax, find the total tax amount for $50,000 ($250,000 – $200,000):

$50,000 X 0.9% = $450

Add together the totals for both to find the total the employee pays:

$3,625 + $450 = $4,075

The employee pays $450 more in Medicare taxes than the employer in this example.

Like Social Security taxes, pre-tax deductions may impact Medicare tax calculations. Subtract applicable pre-tax deductions from the total gross wages before calculating the Medicare tax amount to withhold and contribute.

例如,您的员工每两周赚取1,500美元,但有500美元的扣除额。计算$ 1,000的总应税工资($ 1,500 - 500美元)的医疗保险税:

$ 1,000 x 1.45%= $ 14.50

保留并缴纳14.50美元的医疗保险税。

自雇税

If you are self-employed, pay the entire cost of payroll taxes (aka自营税)。而且,如果您的收入超过每年的门槛,也要缴纳0.9%的医疗保险税。

假设您每年赚100,000美元。您将支付全部12.4%的社会保障税:

$100,000 X 12.4% = $12,400

因为您没有达到Medicare的工资基础,所以请勿额外支付0.9%。但是,您必须支付全部2.9%的医疗保险:

$ 100,000 x 2.9%= $ 2,900

将社会保障和医疗保险的金额加在一起:

$ 12,400 + $ 2,900 = $ 15,300

您还可以将毛工资乘以全部的FICA税:

$ 100,000 x 15.3%= $ 15,300

如果您赚取超过142,800美元,请停止计算工资基础上方工资的社会保障税。如果您赚取超过200,000美元(单人),则将所有收入乘以3.8%的额外Medicare税。

仅雇主的税款

除了您缴纳的雇主雇员工资税外,雇主还代表您的雇员支付的其他薪资税。这两个主要税是:

  1. Federal unemployment tax(futa)
  2. 国家失业税(SUTA)*

*一些州(例如宾夕法尼亚州)也将州的失业税作为雇员支付税。与您的州联系,看看您的员工是否必须付钱到失业。

Federal unemployment tax is 6.0% on the first $7,000 in employee wages. However, most states and businesses receive a tax credit of 5.4% and only pay 0.6% to FUTA. So, the maximum amount most employers pay into FUTA each year per employee is $42 ($7,000 X 0.6%). If a business or state does not receive the tax credit, the maximum amount per employee is $420 ($7,000 X 6%).

国家失业税和工资基础因州而异。通常,雇主每年都会收到有关其SUTA利率的通知。州雇主基于多个因素的利率,包括您从事业务的时间,失业索赔的数量等。与您的州核对以确定工资基础和失业税率。

Your state may have additional taxes you pay as an employer (e.g.,privilege tax)。Contact your state for more information.
