The F.I.C.A. rate is 7.65% on an employee’s wages to $84,900 and 1.45% in excess of $84,900. Of the $188,000 wages subject to F.I.C.A. tax, $20,000 of the sales wages is in excess of $84,900. Federal unemployment tax rate is 0.8% after credits. Income tax withheld amounts to $16,000 for factory, $7,000 for sales, and $6,000 for administrative.
