How much will it cost in taxes for someone who is single and self employed if the SS tax cap were lifted?

If they make just under 250K. Assume there are no more deductions over the 115K cap. Most will not have them that high. I need a real number since that is what Obama supports.

Update:

Not One liberal on here understands the tax code. Typical. No wonder they could care less how much someone else pays. it's $21,000 tax increase (15.2% self employed) for someone who already pays 30% (75,000) for a 100K tax bill. These people ARE Small Business. The same ones Obama claims to want to "help". Unbelievable how ignorant people are.

    Just double whatever you deduction is up to $115,000 and add 17.4%.

    Considering that is far, far above what the average American makes, don't expect any sympathy.

    But it will be more than double.

    8% of whatever they earn would be the SS tax.
