Answer: Murr's annual social security deduction is the amount of money he pays in social security taxes. Social security tax is 6.2% of Murr's annual salary. To find the annual social security deduction, we can multiply Murr's annual salary by the social security tax rate:
57,285.50 x 6.2% = 3,541.829
Murr's annual social security deduction is 3,541.829
Note that Medicare tax is 1.45% and it's calculated separately, if you want to calculate it you can use the same formula:
57,285.50 x 1.45% = 829.4078
So the total Social security and Medicare tax is 3,541.829 + 829.4078 = 4,371.2368
It's important to note that these are the federal Social Security and Medicare taxes, there might be additional state taxes or deductions that are not included.
