The social security tax withholding rate is 6.2% for employees matched by another 6.2% for employers. The maximum amount of income subject to this combined 12.4% withholding rate   is $147,000 in 2022. In 1992, the maximum amount subject to this combined 12.4% withholding rate was $55,500. This represents an annual growth rate of about 3.3%.  For 2023, the maximum amount subject to the 12.4% withholding rate is set at $160,200.
