Is FICA the lowest amount on your pay stub?

FICA, which stands for the Federal Insurance Contributions Act, includes Social Security and Medicare taxes deducted from your paycheck. While it is a significant deduction, it may not necessarily be the lowest amount on your pay stub. Other deductions, such as state taxes, local taxes, or health insurance premiums, could be lower than your FICA contributions, depending on your specific pay stub and benefits. Always review your pay stub carefully to understand all deductions.
