Answer:
- Social Security tax = $65.22
- Medicare = $15.25
- Yearly Salary = $54,704
Explanation:
Social Security tax for 2021 is 6.2% on the first $142,800 earned for the year.
Mr. Columbo falls under the limit so will pay the 6.2%.
Social security = 6.2% * 1,052
= $65.22 per week
Medicare is 1.45% with no limits:
= 1.45% * 1,052
= $15.25
Yearly Salary:
= Salary per week * Number of weeks in year
= 1,052 * 52
= $54,704
