Use the following tax rates, ceiling and maximum taxes:
Employee and Employer OASDI:	6.20%	$132,900	$8,239.80

*Employee HI: Plus an additional 0.9% on wages over $200,000. Also applicable to self-employed.

Rounding Rules: Unless instructed otherwise compute hourly rate and overtime rates as follows:

1. Carry the hourly rate and the overtime rate to 3 decimal places and then round off to 2 decimal places (round the hourly rate to 2 decimal places before multiplying by one and one-half to determine the overtime rate).
2. If the third decimal place is 5 or more, round to the next higher cent.
3. If the third decimal place is less than 5, drop the third decimal place.

Also, use the minimum hourly wage of $7.25 in solving these problems and all that follow.
