Social security tax rises again in January
The 1960 social security tax will jump 3 percent on the first 4,800 of earnings, raising about 144 for those earning 4,800 or more and expanding employer contributions as the tax schedule tightens. Self employed persons face 4 percent on 1960 earnings, with max dues rising to 216 as the program expands to cover more workers. The increase marks the first of four planned boosts over nine years to fund rising benefit costs.
