On October 19, 2011, the Social Security Administration announced that the 2012 Social Security contribution and benefit base will be $110,100. This is an increase of $3,300 from the base of $106,800 which has been in effect the last three years. The Social Security Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (OASDI) program sets an annual maximum limit (called the contribution and benefit base) on the amount of earnings subject to the Social Security OASDI tax. Employers must deduct Social Security taxes from their employees’ pay and contribute to Social Security taxes themselves on total OASDI-covered wages paid to each employee, up to the annual OASDI contribution limit. The OASDI limit typically changes each year with changes in the national average wage index.
The limit for Medicare remains the same at unlimited wages or earnings.
