   Most of the U.S.

   The Medicare Social Security tax must be paid on all income. The rates for 2013 are as follows:
   
   Employees: 1.45%
   Employers: 1.45%
   Self-Employed: 2.9%
   
   If an individual's earned income is over $200,000 they must pay 0.9% more in Medicare tax. Married couples filing jointly with an income over $250,000 must also pay an additional 0.9% Medicare tax in addition to the percentages noted above.
