Net: $100,000 employer Employee SS $6200 $6200 =$7650 Med $1450 $1450 =7650
Calculating Social Security Ex: $1,025.00 Employee: 6.2% x $1,025.00 = $63.55 Employer: 6.2% x $1,025.00 = $63.55
Once an employee's wages surpass $200,000.00 for the year, the employee has an additional Medicare rate of 0.9% added to their 1.45% rate surpass: New Rate: 2.35%
Social Security: employee pays 6.2% and the employer pays 6.2% Because you just hit the Wage base limits
FORMULA: PRORATION 176,100 Wage base limits 17,000 salary/mo. x 11mos (hit month) = 187,000 187,000 - 176,000 = 10,900 (non tax) 10, 900 x 6.2% = 675.8 social security taxes 17,000 - 10,900 = 6100 (non taxable)

///////// DAY 6 /////////* Federal and state taxes are two separate types of taxes collected by different levels of government in the United States:
TAX LIABILITY: Employees and employers both have taxes to deal with, Federal Income Tax : employee Social Security: employee and employer.
Social Security is a U.S. government program that provides financial benefits to eligible individuals and their families.
FEDERAL INSURANCE CONTRIBUTIONS ACT (FICA) MEDICARE -health insurance provided by the government for people who are 65 or older. Total Tax Rate: 2.9% 1.45% is paid by the employee 1.45% is paid by the employer
NEW RATE 2.35% once the employees wages exceed $200,000 in a calendar year, the employee is required today an additional 0.9% for Medicare Tax (1.45% +0.9%= 2.35%) while the employers rate remains the same (1.45%).
RATE 1.45% Both employee & employer have the same rate Medicare below the employee's first $200,000 made in the calendar year (1.45%).
CALCULATION: Current Ytd: 195,000 (how to make it 200,000) Next Salary: 10,000 Exceeds: 5,000
Employee: 5000 / 1.45% = 72.50 Employer: 5000 / 2.35% = 117.50
EX: Current Ytd: 196,775 Salary : 4000
$200,000 - 196,775 = 3225 196,775 + 4000 = 200775 (775)
3225 x 1.45% = 46.76 775 x 2.35% = 18.21
Another Ex: Current Ytd: 175675 Salary : 60478
$200,000 - 175675 = 24325 175675 + 60478 = 236153 (36153) exceed: 36153
24325 x 1.45% = 352.71 36153 x 2.35% = 849.59
FORMULA: 200,000 - (YTD) = Ans x 1.45% YTD + Salary = ans - 200,000 = ans x 2.35%

R03 unable to find/locate account. This means the account number Gusto attempted to pay the employee with is an account the bank doesn’t recognize. The employee should update their bank account details with the correct information. Once they do that, Gusto will automatically attempt to pay the employee using the new account information.
If there isn’t an ACH Trace ID that only means the receiving bank hasn’t verified the money is with them.
Employees that are not excused from FLSA ruling, meaning, if they work more than 40 hours in a workweek they are eligible for overtime pay.
