Since you did not know how much of a percentage of a person's income is paid into SS through the payroll tax, I assumed you did not contribute to SS, hence you must be contributing into the Public Employees Retirement System. What percentage of your income do you contrinute in that system?

I am not sure his origin has the same type of system.

The UK system is complicated because of course we have National Insurance which covers our NHS etc.

Basically base rate is 22% the best thing I can do rather than try to explain it which I don't fully under is give the links to our tax and national insurance rates on the net
