You can earn as much as you like.  It's just that when you go over a certain amount, we the tax payers have to pay less to keep you, so earn as much as you can eh?

If you are earning more than $400.00 from being a nanny, you have to claim it and pay self employment tax on it. You will report this using schedule C and Schedule SE in addition to your regular 1040.

It depends on how much you make and how many deductions you claim on your W-4, but generally somewhere around 20-40% get withheld.

If you become disabled before retirement age you may collect on one or the other. It depends on whether or not you have paid into the Social Security plan or not. If you have held a job and paid into SS then you can collect SSI: Social Security Insurance. Your monthly income will be based upon how much you were making before you were disabled and will not exceed the maximum which right now I think is around $1300/month.\n\nIf you have not paid into SS or not paid in that much then if you become disabled you may be eligible for SSDI; Social Security Disability Insurance. SSDI has eligibility requirements such as the amount of assets you may own. The monthly amount you receive is much less and depends upon the State you live in. Generally the top amount is somewhere between $500-600/month.\n\nThe Disability requirements are pretty much the same for both. And it can take a couple of years to get approved for either.

$15,000. There is a catch-up provision of $5,000 bringing the maximum to $20,000 if you are over 50 years of age.

Im not sure that it is prescribed in law but if it is then the norm of 20 seems a fair bet.  Of course some jobs such as teaching offer much greater holidays. I think I get about 13 weeks.

I would like to comment on the answer Sharon gave in here. Sharon you mentioned you are on disability and can work part time up to six months. During that six months do you still report earning to Social Security? Do they evaluate you more frequently? Is your disability physical? I asked a similar question for my sister in this forum. She would like to work, but does not want to lose her Social Security as she has a life-threatening illness. She wants to work a little but is afraid if she returns to work in any capacity she will lose the only income she has. Before you went to work Sharon, did you explain your situation to Social Security and did they help you understand how much you could earn and how much you could work? Please elaborate.

Let's see...that is the Federal benefit, right?\n\nIt should be $603 per month, U.S. funds.  However, if you work, depending on the state you live in and whether you are doing multiple part-time contingent jobs or steadier work this can vary considerably....\n\nThe general rule of thumb is: the first $60-100 dollars of *gross*, pre-tax income you make is ignored by the system unless you have a pending over-payment from a previous month.  After that first $60-100, you lose fifty cents in SSI for every dollar you make, *pre-tax* (yep, it's a double tax folks...poor folks suck it up but the rich guys would and have raised a big stink over things like this...).\n\nThe real kicker on this is, you *have* to report your monthly income, if a paystub exists for it, each month, even though the local office may take up to three months to process the info.  This can mean that your income at the moment will wildly and erratically rise and fall depending on income you've long since spent....and the alternatives are:\n\n--not report, and then *when* you get caught, not if, find yourself getting docked for over-payments in any given month up to *three times* as late as a *year* after the fact (really, I got docked for income under-reported in March of 2003 three times, the last time in 2005??) or worse....or...\n\n--snag a job that pays under the table in cash.  Technically, if you have no paystub, you can't report.  No check, no trace.  However, on a legal level, while this does mean in theory that your employer bears the brunt of the fault for not hiring and paying you (and the payroll taxes) legally, in practice, most employers are rich enough to hire lawyers and have them shift the blame *to you*, knowing you likely can't afford such (mis)representation.\n\nSucks, doesn't it?  Especially when you have a legitimate disability that *nobody with money* wants to acknowledge, like a damn mood disorder (trust me, income cliffing borders on criminal negligence when it comes to folks with psychiatric issues, who get stable enough to work on their meds, try to work, only to have their meds yanked when neither Public Aid nor the employer pays one red cent for medications needed to stay stable enough TO work).\n\nJust my three cents, don't hate me if you need Canadian pennies, ok?

the contribution varies based on your salary.

The IRS max limit is per individual, not per plan.\n\nYou can contribute a max of $15,000 total between any number of plans or your salary which ever is lower.\n\nIf you only earned $10,000 you can only contribute $10,000 not the max amount of $15,000

I did.  After 20 years on social security disability, I went to work I kept getting my disability check for a year after I started work. That gives you a double income, but be careful not to get too used to the extra cash because it does end after that first year.  It also depends on how much you make per month.  You can earn a little over $800 a month and never lose your disability benefits.  After about 7 years I lost my Medicare coverage, but my job had benefits so that wasn't a problem.  The different things that apply to working with a disability can be very confusing, and if you call the SSA 800 number you will probably get even more confused because the people working the phones really don't have accurate answers every time you call.\nMy job was managing a center for independence for people with disabilities so I do have a lot of experience at this.\n\nThe down side is that because of budget cuts in California I lost my job two months ago.  Now I am unemployed and on state disability.  Back to square 1!

Yes.  Check with your caseworker.  You can make a limited amount, but not much.  After all, if you could earn enough to support yourself, you're not disabled.

Not sure but they'll probably cut you a pretty fat check going back to when you first filed your claim but be aware SS Admin is famous for coming back down the road saying they overpaid and may want some back so set aside a chunk of the $$$ just in case

Your tax calculation is basically correct.\n\nYou say you pay NI separately.  This is probably only Class 2 NI which is currently £2.10 per week.  You will also be liable for Class 4 contributions which are collected with your income tax.  These are payable at a rate of 8% of your income over £5,035.

it also depends on the terms of your employment.. if you are an at will employee, private contractor or what.. it doesnt say in your post anything specific enough..
