I was right. FFS The FICA rate was 6.2 for both employer & employee. Now it is 6.2 for employer and 4.2 employee. A savings of 2% If an individual indeed made 17,000 per year... then the original 6.2 amount would be $1,054 in FICA liability. Now at 4.2 it's a $714 tax liability, which has them saving $340 per year. Interesting because I make 4x that amount and I think my boss screwed up our calculations..... FFS....... hmmm.... wow... he did fuck up. Now that's a conversation I don't need to have today.

I was right. FFS It is only 6.60 more because you only make $330.00 per week or aprox $17,000 per year - get with the program son! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1081321No dipshit...wow....... way to read a thread. ...but my heart does ache for those that do earn at that level. Social Security was reduced by 2% -so- $6.60/2%= $330 - If so- Where did I go wrong? Your math was correct. I think my boss actually screwed up because I just did the calculations myself... My normal would be $4,216 reduced would be 2,856 So in all reality I should have a difference of $26.12 per check. Not $6.60. Now I have to go beat him up for my $20.... ROTFL.. Big boss FAIL. TY AC for posting that! Otherwise it may have taken weeks for me to notice! BTW, it still sucks!

I was right. FFS Was it 2% of the SS deduction or 2% of your total paycheck? Quoting: J-Rico2% SS deduction. Which brings me to another point. My boss makes a killing because he is a CPA. I do all the same work and because I don't have my stupid license in NY, I make alot less than I should. Here we found, thx to AC, I was able to discern that my paycheck indeed was fucked up. I now have to go tell the 'brilliant boss' he made an error and I want my extra money....lmfao. Oh the irony. I would have never bothered with the proper calculation if the AC didn't make that statement! So thx again!

See, no gift. Nothing is ever free. Decrease one tax, making it look all nicey nice, then adjust the other tax tables so individuals do not even get to realize the benefit unless they are playing with their deductions. FFS.

Quoting: J-RicoYes, it was coming out of your paycheck. I agree that the amount may be virtually meaningless, but at least it's 6, 8, or 15 dollars a week that you earned that you get to KEEP, instead of the government confiscating it in an effort to continue to prop uo the ponzi scheme that is social security. |
