Employee social tax, also known as payroll tax or social security tax, is a tax that is imposed on salary, and is typically used to fund social welfare programs such as old-age pensions, disability benefits, and unemployment insurance.

The amount of employee social tax that is withheld from the paycheck is typically based on a percentage of the salary, and the rate may vary depending on the country or jurisdiction.

In some countries, employee social tax is shared between the employee and the employer, with each party paying a portion of the tax. In other countries, only the employee is responsible for paying the tax.

It's important to note that employee social tax laws and regulations may vary by country or jurisdiction, so it is advisable to consult with a tax advisor or a financial professional for specific information about your country or state's employee social tax laws.
