Abstract: In this paper we study the Fredholm properties of Toeplitz operators acting on weighted Bergman spaces

A_{u}^{p} (m a t h b b B^{n})

, where

p i n (1, i n f t y)

and

m a t h b b B^{n} s u b s e t m a t h b b C^{n}

denotes the

n

-dimensional open unit ball. Let

f

be a continuous function on the Euclidean closure of

m a t h b b B^{n}

. It is well-known that then the corresponding Toeplitz operator

T_{f}

is Fredholm if and only if

f

has no zeros on the boundary

p a r t i a l m a t h b b B^{n}

. As a consequence, the essential spectrum of

T_{f}

is given by the boundary values of

f

. We extend this result to all operators in the algebra generated by Toeplitz operators with bounded symbol (in a sense to be made precise down below). The main ideas are based on the work of Suarez et al. and limit operator techniques coming from similar problems on the sequence space

e l l^{p} (m a t h b b Z)

.
