The Social Security tax rate is assessed on all types of income earned by an employee including salaries, wages, and bonuses. However, there is an income limit to which the tax rate is applied. For 2017, the Social Security tax is taken from income up to an annual limit of $127,200. Any amount earned above $127,200 is Social Security tax-free.
When Social Security is taxable at all, you have to pay taxes on at least 50 percent of your benefits. As your income increases the percentage can reach a maximum of 85 percent of your annual benefit amount. This maximum percentage applies when your income reaches $34,000 if you file as single.
