Sole Proprietors will be assessed an annual contribution on their earnings.
After an exemption, the Self-Employment Contribution is 2% of Adjusted Net Earnings.
- The exemption is $15,000 – (Adjusted Net Earnings x 0.25)
- The exemption would not apply for Net Earnings above $60,000.
Calculation Example
Paul is in business for himself and nets $55,000 per year.
- Paul’s Self-Employment Contribution
- $55,000 x .25 = $13,750
- $15,000 – 13,750 = $1250
- $50,000 – 1,250 x 2% = $1075/yr or approx. $89/mo
