They were the last month when I paid them... At one point Social Security was 7.6%, I seem to recall, but it was deducted up to a smaller maximum salary. Don't forget the hidden part of the tax: The same amount of tax is -also- paid by the employer, so you're losing a net of 12.4%. You're being silently screwed by that, because the employer could use that for your salary/wages- it's part of the same human-resources budget item. R.G. Van De Walker |
