self-employment
The whole SECA tax that self-employed people pay is 15.3 percent of their remaining profits. This demand consists of two parts-Social Security, which is 12.4 percent, and the exceptional 2.9 percent is Medicare. The state sets the highest amount of net profits that are directed to the Social Security contribution. Anything above that cost is not subjected to the tax. For example, if you have $140,000 of net income, you are obliged to pay the 2.9 percent Medicare tax on the whole $140,000. Since 2013, following the Affordable Care Act (ACA), there is an extra 0.9 percent Medicare surtax on wages over a threshold which is $200,000 for people filing as single, $250,000 for a duo filing jointly, and $125,000 for a married couple filing individually. If you file as eligible and earn $250,000 over the year, the first $200,000 is directed to the 2.9 percent Medicare tax. The dwelling $50,000 is directed to the 0.9 percent surtax for a complete tax of 3.8 percent.
