Answer:
The answer is $1890.
Step-by-step explanation:
Employees in 2012 paid 4.2% of their gross wages towards social security (FICA tax)
While employers paid another 6.2%.
So, someone earning $45000, will pay [tex]0.042\times45000=1890[/tex] dollars in FICA.
The question says only individual. The earnings are exclusive to employees, so they will only pay from earnings. The employer will not pay from employee's earnings.
The answer is $1890.
The number of earnings towards social security should be $1,890.
Given that,
- The employers in 2012 paid 4.2%.
- The employer should paid 6.2%.
- And, the earning should be $45,000.
Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:
[tex]= 4.2\% \times \$45,000[/tex]
= $1,890
Therefore we can conclude that the number of earnings towards social security should be $1,890.
