Answer #1

The current social security tax rate is 6.20% for the employer and 6.20% for the employee.

Maximum threshold limit to calculate social security tax is $132,900. Maximum social security tax an employee whose earnings is up to or above $132,900 would pay $8,390.80.

Hence, tax to be withheld for the week ending 11/15 is 6.20% of $800. That is $49.60.
