Single taxpayer yearly income = 70,000 USD
10% * 10,275 = 1028
12% * 31,499 = 3780
22% * 28,224 = 6209
6209+3780+1028 = 11,017

Yearly income tax = 11,017 USD

Married Taxpayer yearly income = 140,000 USD
10% *22,000 = 2,200
12% *67,450 = 8,094
22% *24,650 = 5,423

Yearly income tax = 15,717 USD

Employer Costs in United States

In the United States, taxes are withheld from an employee’s paycheck by their employer. The employer is then responsible for remitting those taxes to the appropriate government agencies. Employers are also required to make contributions to social security and Medicare on behalf of their employees. These contributions are typically a percentage of the employee’s income.

Employer Contribution

Employers in the USA must contribute to the worker’s compensation program. This compensation is a medical insurance that varies from state to state and worker class codes. Contact us for more details regarding your specific enquiry.

Social Security

Social security tax is charged on all income up to a defined limit. Together with Medicare taxes, these are also known as FICA Taxes (Federal Insurance Contributions Act).

The rate (for 2020 and 2021) is 12.4% of income, with a maximum limit of $137,700 for 2020 (rising to $142,800 in 2021). This is split between employee and employer, with 6.2% taken out of employee pay and 6.2% contributed by the employer.

Benefits & Insurance in United States

The Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) requires U.S. employers to withhold social security and Medicare contributions from employee paychecks. As of 2020, the employer contribution rate for social security is 6.2% of an employee’s taxable wages, while the Medicare rate is 1.45%.

Medical Insurance

Employers with 50 or more employees are required to offer affordable healthcare coverage insurance plans. These businesses must act in accordance with the Affordable Care Act (ACA) or be compelled to a shared responsibility payment by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

Benefits in the USA are a common appeal for companies who wish to attract high quality talent. These benefits include but are not limited to:

Medical insurance
Stock options
Dental insurance
Pension fund (called the 401k in the USA)

Most Attractive Benefits To Employees

In the United States, benefits and perks are often seen as key factors in determining whether or not to accept a job. In fact, a recent study found that 40.2% of employees considered flexible hours to be a must-have benefit, while 33.6% said that paid insurance premiums were key.

Other popular benefits included paid family leave (29.2%), regular remote work (26.4%), and financial assistance with professional certifications (26.3%).

While these benefits are certainly important to many workers, it’s important to remember that they come at a cost to employers. As such, businesses need to carefully consider which benefits they can afford to offer in order to attract and retain the best talent.

One way that employers can offset the cost of benefits is by offering contributions to employees’ retirement accounts. This not only helps to attract and retain workers, but it also provides a valuable financial benefit to employees.

In the United States, employer contributions to retirement accounts are typically made through a 401(k) plan. Under this type of plan, employers can choose to match a certain percentage of employee contributions, up to a certain amount. For example, an employer might choose to match 50% of employee contributions up to $5,000 per year.

Working Hours in United States

Working Hours Per Week

The work week in the United States is 40 hours per week, typically from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday. According to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), nonexempt employees 16 years old or older must receive overtime pay for hours worked over 40 per week.

In the United States, overtime is typically paid at a rate of 1.5 times the employee’s regular rate of pay. However, there are laws in place that dictate when overtime must be paid, and how much.

Severance

Unless otherwise stated in the employee’s labor contract, there are no laws in the United States that entitle terminated employees to severance packages. However terminated employees must be paid in full for the hours they have worked since their last paycheck.

Most severance packages will include a severance check and continuation of health insurance coverage. Some employers may also offer outplacement services to help the employee find a new job.

Employment Contract

There is no legal requirement in most states for a formal employment contract. Most employment in the US is carried out on an ‘At-Will’ basis, meaning that it can be terminated at any time. More formal contracts, with notice periods, are generally only used for some senior positions.

An Employment Contract is a legally binding agreement between an employer and employee. It sets forth the rights and duties of each party, and outlines the terms and conditions of employment. Employment Contracts are governed by state and federal law, as well as common law principles.

Most Employment Contracts in the United States will include the following information:

– The start date and location of employment

– The employer’s information

– The employee’s information

– The employee’s job title and average work schedule (e.g. 37.5 hours a week)

– The probation period

– How the employee will be paid (hourly, salary, etc.), how much they will receive, and how often they will receive payment (weekly, biweekly, etc.)

– Additional details like vacation time, notice required for termination, confidentiality and non compete.

Employment Contracts may also include other terms and conditions that are specific.

The majority of employment in the US takes place on an ‘At-Will’ basis. This means employees can be terminated at any time, for any reason, by either employee or employer.

Additionally, several states have adopted laws extending this requirements to smaller companies, but the majority of small companies in the USA do not need to offer paid or unpaid maternal leave.

The employee’s job is protected during that time, and they still have access to group health benefits. FMLA leave is required from private employers with 50 or more employees in the United States.
