Social Security Tax

Explanation:

Payroll taxes are taxes imposed on employers or employees and are usually calculated as a percentage cut of the salary that the employers pay their staff. In your paycheck, you pay part of what you have earned to the government in a payroll tax. That cut among other things goes to fund social security and Medicare plans that fall under the Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA). They are those deductions from an employee’s wages or taxes paid by the employer based on the employees’ wages.
