Social Security
The social security tax deducted from workers’ paychecks will be higher in 1981 than it was in 1980, Bruce Hundley, social security manager in Culpeper, said recently.
This is due, first of all, Hundley said, to the fact that the tax rate increases from 6.13 percent for 1980 to 6.65 percent for 1981. In addition, the wage base, the maximum amount of annual earnings on which social security taxes are paid, increases to $29,700 for 1981 from $25,900 the. 1980 figure.
These increases are the result of legislation enacted in 1977 intended to restore the social security system to financial stability.
The increases will not be substantial, for most workers, Hundley said. For example, a worker earning about $10,000 in both 1980 and 1981 will pay about $1 more a week in social security taxes. Workers whose earnings amount to about $25,900 for both years will pay about $2.59 more a week in 1981 than in 1980, a total of, $134.68 more in social security taxes.
