What's a payroll tax? I don't know, I'm from the UK. Is this income tax, social security?

Social security tax @ 6.4%

And a Medicaid Tax @ 1.45 %

The employer needs to match this tax withholding, also.

So, both employee and employer benefit.

The payroll tax is the income tax that you owe the govt that is withheld by your employer who remits this to the govt on your behalf. So basically you pay no tax on your income. Does not affect Social Security. Self employed people don't participate in payroll tax, they pay in a different way.
