Detailed Single Year Tables

Category of Change: Payroll Taxes (including maximum taxable)

Proposal Change from Current Law

Proposed Provision: E3.8. Beginning in 2031, apply 2 percent payroll tax rate on earnings over the wage-indexed 

equivalent of $200,000 in 2017 (about $348,300 in 2031), with the threshold wage-indexed after 2031. Provide 

proportional benefit credit for additional earnings taxed, based on the payroll tax rate applied to the additional 

earnings divided by the full 12.4 percent payroll tax rate.
