Tax
How much do I pay in payroll taxes as an employer?
Quick Answer
Employers pay 7.65% FICA (6.2% Social Security up to $176,100 + 1.45% Medicare uncapped) on wages, plus 6% FUTA on the first $7,000 per employee (often 0.6% net), plus state unemployment of roughly 1–6% by state and experience rating.
