FICA wage-cap status for this paycheck
| 2026 Social Security wage base | $184,500.00 |
|---|---|
| Social Security base remaining before this check | $184,500.00 |
| This check subject to Social Security | $2,884.62 |
| Social Security base remaining after this check | $181,615.38 |
| Medicare wages until employer withholding threshold | $200,000.00 |
| This check subject to Additional Medicare withholding | $0.00 |
Social Security uses this employer's wage history and stops at its annual base. Base Medicare has no wage cap. The $200,000 Additional Medicare withholding threshold is per employer and differs from return-level household thresholds.
Retirement and HSA payroll comparison
The baseline keeps wages, W-4 entries, health premiums, state selection, and other deductions unchanged while setting traditional 401(k), Roth 401(k), and payroll HSA contributions to zero.
| Per paycheck | Without selected contributions | Selected contributions | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Federal withholding | $295.00 | $295.00 | $0.00 |
| Employee FICA | $220.68 | $220.68 | $0.00 |
| Amount after modeled taxes and deductions | $2,368.94 | $2,368.94 | $0.00 |
| Projected traditional 401(k) | $0.00 |
|---|---|
| Projected Roth 401(k) | $0.00 |
| Employee deferrals including prior plans | $0.00 of $24,500.00 |
| Projected payroll, direct, and employer HSA | $0.00 of limit unavailable without eligible coverage |
A plan may impose a lower retirement contribution limit, and HSA eligibility can require month-by-month or last-month-rule analysis.
State income-tax conformity is not inferred. State results use only separately verified wage treatments.
Traditional 401(k) deferrals reduce federal withholding wages but generally remain subject to FICA. Roth 401(k) contributions are post-tax. Payroll HSA contributions are modeled as cafeteria-plan deductions that reduce federal and FICA wages; direct HSA contributions do not change this paycheck unless separately reflected on Form W-4.
