FICA tax breakdown
- Social Security: 6.2% of wages up to $184,500 (2026 wage base)
- Medicare: 1.45% on all wages, with no cap
- Additional Medicare: 0.9% on wages over $200,000 (single) or $250,000 (MFJ)
FICA is a federal tax, so your North Dakota rate is identical to every other state. Your employer pays a matching 6.2% + 1.45% for you (self-employed workers pay both halves).
