The Social Security rate will remain at 4.2% through the end of February for employees only. The tax rate for the employer portion will remain at 6.2%. Self-employed individuals will continue to pay the combined 10.4% rate. The Medicare portion for employees and employers remains unchanged at 1.45% each.
