This database reports the annual maximum taxable earnings for Social Security, Medicare, and disability benefits.  There is no additional Social Security, Medicare, or Disability Insurance tax above these maximum earnings.  The database also contains Social Security, Medicare, and Disability Insurance contribution rates for employers and employees, and for self-employed persons. Rates are reported in percent and reflect total rates paid by both employer and employee.  Certain individuals will be required to pay a 0.9 percent higher Medicare tax in 2013.  For example, married couples filing jointly will pay this amount above $250,000 in income.  For additional information, see the U.S. Social Security Administration.
