To get to your W-2:
Your W-2 would be your proof. Multiply W-2 Box 2 times 6.2% and it should equal box 3 or a max of $7,347. Then, multiply Box 4 times 1.45% and it should equal box 5 unless you are a high income earner. Any income in excess of $200,000 gets taxed an additional 0.9% (Obamacare) medicare tax.
The current tax rate for social security is 6.2% for the employer and 6.2% for the employee, or 12.4% total. The current rate for Medicare is 1.45% for the employer and 1.45% for the employee, or 2.9% total.
