Wage limit for California social security tax on self employment income

Hello. I was wondering if similar to the "federal" social security (SS) tax, there's a wage limit for California SS tax on self-employment income?

 

In other words, is there a California (state) dual to $160,200 federal wage limit on 12.4% SS tax on SE income?

 

Thanks so much in advance!

There is no state tax for SS & Medicare on self employment.  So no wage limit.  So there is no adjustment for CA.

Wage limit for California social security tax on self employment income

Thanks for your response. Isn't it the case that the state (California) tax on self-employment is 15.3% = 12.4% SS + 2.9% Medicare? So I wanted to know if there is a wage limit on the 12.4% portion of SS?
