The social security portion of FICA was capped at 160,200 in 2023 So on a % of income basis their FICA taxes were lower than people that make less than 160K a year


Yeah I know.

If they’re both high earners, plus Medicare surcharge, and living in CA, I still can’t get income taxes higher than $156k.

I’ve already wasted more time calculating this than I planned.

That’s close to what you would pay in Louisiana with 500k in income with a 4.5% state income tax rate. I think Cali is close to 6% higher.
