There’s a lot of buzz right now about the Social Security taxes you’ll be paying in 2020. “The maximum tax per worker will be $17,074.80 – or a maximum $8,537.40 withheld from a highly-paid employee’s 2020 paycheck.”
This means, in 2020, the amount you pay in Social Security will increase 3.6% to 6.2%.
While this takes more money out of the employees’ pockets, it also adds benefits for retirees. It’s estimated, more than 63-million people will get a 1.6% cost-of-living increase in 2020 (i.e. approximately $24 extra/month.)
