Section A -- Financial Statistics

The tables in this section generally present data on financial operations under the Railroad Retirement and Railroad 

Unemployment Insurance Acts for fiscal year 2013 and for varying numbers of prior years.

The main source of financing the railroad retirement program is a payroll tax paid by employers and employees. Railroad 

retirement taxes and benefits are paid on a two-tier basis. Employers and employees pay tier I taxes at the same rate as 

social security taxes, and the amount of earnings subject to the tax corresponds to the prevailing social security taxable 

maximum. Tier II taxes finance benefits payable over and above social security levels, but earnings subject to the tax are 

restricted to the social security taxable maximums which would have been applicable under continuation of pre-1977 

social security law. Both employers and employees pay tier II taxes, but at different rates.

In calendar years 2012 and 2013, a tier I tax rate of 7.65 percent for employers applied to compensation up to $110,100

and $113,700 per year, respectively. The employee tier I tax rate was reduced 2 percentage points to 5.65 percent in 2012

by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, which also provided for the trust funds to receive from 

general revenue amounts equivalent to the reduction in employee taxes. The employee tier I tax rate returned to 7.65 

percent in 2013. The tier I rates include taxes that finance the hospital insurance portion of Medicare; that tax rate for both 

employees and employers was 1.45 percent for 2012 and 2013. There is no limit to earnings subject to the hospital 

insurance portion of the tier I tax rate. Beginning in 2013, employees pay an additional 0.9 percent on earnings above 

$200,000 (for those who file an individual return) or $250,000 (for those who file a joint return).

The tier II tax rate is determined annually from a tax rate schedule based on the average account benefits ratio. The 

average account benefits ratio is the average for the 10 fiscal years preceding the calendar year of the ratio of the fair 

market value of the assets in the Railroad Retirement Account and the National Railroad Retirement Investment Trust (and 

for years before 2002, the Social Security Equivalent Benefit Account) as of the close of each fiscal year to the total 

benefits and administrative expenses paid from those accounts during the fiscal year. Employer tax rates can range from 

8.2 percent to 22.1 percent. Employee tax rates can range from 0 percent to 4.9 percent. In calendar year 2012, the tier II 

tax rates paid by employers and employees were 12.1 percent and 3.9 percent, respectively, and were levied on annual 

earnings up to $81,900. During 2013, tier II tax rates paid by employers and employees were 12.6 percent and 4.4 

percent, respectively, and were levied on earnings up to $84,300.
Additional income is derived from Federal income taxes on tier I, tier II and vested dual benefits, from interest on invested 

funds and from the financial interchange with the social security system. The experience under the latter arrangement is 

presented in table A3. Under this arrangement, the social security trust funds are, in effect, credited with the additional 

payroll and income taxes they would have received, and charged with the additional benefits and administrative costs they 

would have paid if railroad employment had been covered under the social security program, with allowances for interest. 

Financial interchange determinations are made jointly by the Board, the Social Security Administration, and the Centers 

for Medicare & Medicaid Services on an annual basis. Separate determinations are made with respect to the Old-Age and 

Survivors Insurance, Disability Insurance, and Hospital Insurance Trust Funds.

The railroad unemployment and sickness benefit programs are financed by contributions from railroad employers, based 

on a percentage of their employees' taxable earnings. In 2012 and 2013, the taxable earnings base for those programs was 

the first $1,365 and $1,405, respectively, of each employee's monthly earnings. Beginning in 1991, each employer's 

contribution rate is experience based. Temporary extended unemployment benefits authorized by the American Recovery 

and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act) were financed by a $20,000,000 congressional appropriation. The Worker, 

Homeownership and Business Assistance Act of 2009 (WHBAA) contained an appropriation of $175,000,000 to extend 

the provisions of the Recovery Act by one year. The Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization, and Job 

Creation Act of 2010, the Temporary Payroll Tax Cut Continuation Act of 2011, the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job 

Creation Act of 2012, and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012 each continued the special unemployment benefit 

provision for periods ranging from two months to one year, for a total extension of three years.

Fiscal years begin October 1 of the prior calendar year and end September 30.

In the tables, detailed figures may not add to totals shown because of rounding.

NOTE.-- Number of beneficiaries represents all individuals paid benefits in year. In total number for each year, beneficiaries are counted only once, even though they may have 

received more than one type of benefit. In fiscal year 2013, 7,600 individuals received both retirement and survivor benefits, 800 employees received both unemployment and 

sickness benefits, and 2,200 employees received benefits under both the Railroad Retirement Act and the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Act. These figures are partly 

estimated, and totals for earlier years are similarly adjusted.
