Opinion: Under the present Social Security system, the cap on the earnings is $106,800 and the tax rate is 6.2 percent, which means a maximum of $6,621 is collected from every wage earner and the employer pays an equal amount of $6,621 for each employee. Anybody who earns $106,800 or less pays the 6.2 percent every month for an entire year. If you earn more than $106,800 you will pay the tax each month until you reach $6,621, then the tax stops.
