If an employee is exempt from Social Security and Medicare taxes, typically due to specific circumstances like being a non-resident alien or certain religious exemptions, the total percentage of income withheld would be 0% for these taxes. Generally, Social Security tax is 6.2% and Medicare tax is 1.45%, totaling 7.65% for most employees. Thus, without these taxes, there would be no withholding from the paycheck for Social Security and Medicare.
