About this market
Market context
Employment tax in the US encompasses federal, state, and local taxes that employers must withhold from employee wages and remit to tax authorities, alongside employer-paid contributions. It also involves accurately classifying workers as employees or independent contractors, a critical area of compliance.
In the United States, employment tax includes Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) taxes for Social Security (6.2% for employer and employee up to annual limits, currently $168,600 for 2024) and Medicare (1.45% for employer and employee, with an additional 0.9% for employees earning over $200,000). Federal Unemployment Tax Act (FUTA) applies at 6% on the first $7,000 of wages, with significant state unemployment tax (SUTA) credits. State-specific withholding, unemployment, and other payroll taxes vary widely, managed by agencies like state Departments of Labor or Revenue.
