At $150,000, a single filer is still under the SSA 2026 Social Security wage base of $184,500, so the full wage is in the 6.2% OASDI base. Additional Medicare (0.9%) has not started yet for single filers (that threshold is $200,000). Federal tax uses Rev. Proc. 2025-32 brackets after the $16,100 standard deduction. California PIT plus 1.3% SDI apply; Texas has no state income tax on wages.
