    You have to pay taxes for your income. Employer will pay their portion of taxes.

    Lets say you make $1,000 per month.

    Your employer will deduct 7.65% as social security and medicare taxes, apart from other deductions like federal income tax, state tax (if any) and anything else. And give you rest of the money.

    Additionally, your employer will contribute 7.65% of from their pocket towrads social security and medicare taxes.

    Periodically, your employer will take that 7.65% x 2 tax and deposit it to the government. In other words, your employer would have already paid those taxes to the government that they deducted from your paycheck. Therefore, you don't have to worry about it.

    You don't have to worry about what taxes your employer is liable to pay. Just worry about what you need to do.

    The tax you pay is gone, and is not refundable. That is not like a retirement account.
