Social Security Tax Limit
Current Limits

The Social Security tax limit is the maximum amount of earnings subject to Social Security taxes. For 2025, this limit is set at $176,100. This means that any income earned above this amount is not subject to Social Security taxes.
Future Changes

In 2026, the limit will increase to $184,500. This annual adjustment is made to keep pace with wage growth.
