Section D -- Employment and Compensation

This section presents data on the service and compensation of railroad employees covered under the railroad retirement and 

railroad unemployment insurance programs. Under the railroad retirement program, different maximums on compensation 

subject to retirement tax have been in effect since 1979 for tier I and tier II financing. Until 1985, the tier I maximum 

corresponded on a monthly basis to the annual maximum provided under current social security law. The tier II maximum 

is based on lower limits determined under pre-1977 social security law. In 2020, the tier I and tier II annual compensation 

maximums were $137,700 and $102,300, respectively. In 2021, the tier I limit increased to $142,800 and the tier II limit 

rose to $106,200. Under the unemployment program, the taxable earnings base was the first $1,655 of each employee’s 

monthly earnings in 2020 and $1,710 in 2021. In these tables, creditable compensation, unless otherwise specified, refers 

to the tier I amount creditable under the Railroad Retirement Act. Except for table D1, tier I payroll excludes miscellaneous 

compensation taxable at the tier I tax rate.

The more important qualifications of the data are shown in footnotes to the tables.

Certain general observations about the figures and definitions of the terminology used are as follows:

1. Beginning with 2017 data, railroads have been classified by the employer's function rather than class since 

operating revenue data is not available. The new categories based on type are:

• Class I line-haul railroads

• Non-Class I line-haul railroads and switching & terminal companies

• Commuter railroads (includes National Railroad Passenger Corp. [Amtrak])

• Car-loan companies

• Labor organizations

• Miscellaneous employers (includes lessor companies, employer associations and miscellaneous carrier 

affiliates)
Changes from the prior class categories to the new type categories are noted below in bold: 

• Class I railroads (excludes Amtrak)

• Class II railroads (no longer reported as a group; included in the Non-Class I line-haul railroads)

• Class III railroads and switching & terminal companies (no longer reported as a group; separated into

Non-Class I line-haul railroads and Commuter railroads)

• Car-loan companies

• Labor organizations (separated from Miscellaneous employers)

• Miscellaneous employers (excludes Labor organizations)

NOTE: Class I railroads are defined by the Surface Transportation Board, based on annual operating revenue. The 

base year used in calculating revenue has been updated from 1991 to 2020. Class I railroads in 2020 were those 

with operating revenues totaling $900 million or more per year.

2. Tables D1 and D3 include National Railroad Passenger Corp. (Amtrak) with Class I line-haul railroads under the

overall category Class I railroads.

3. The employer shown for employees reported by more than one employer is the last employer in the year.

4. A month of service is a month in which an employee performs any service, however slight, for which creditable

railroad compensation is reported. Continuous service refers to service by an employee in one or more months of

each year over a period of years. Completed years of service, on the other hand, are based on total months of service.

Effective for earnings years 1985 and later, an employee who had an employment relation or was an employee

representative in months in which the employee did not perform railroad service may be deemed to have additional

railroad service months if the employee’s railroad earnings for the year exceed one-twelfth of the tier II yearly

compensation maximum times the number of months actually worked in the calendar year. These deemed months

are included in the calculation of completed years of service. One completed year of service represents service in

12 to 23 months; two completed years, service in 24 to 35 months, etc.

5. Data in the tables are based on reports of service and compensation made by employers and processed for inclusion

in the Board's data processing records within 10 months after the end of the calendar year. Late reports were last

included in 1987. Beginning with this publication, foreign employees without a U.S. Social Security number are

excluded from the data.

1 Class I railroad employers include Class I line-hauls and National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak).

2 Tier I and Tier II taxable payrolls had equal monthly earnings bases through 1978. Bases became annual in 1985. Beginning in 1982, Tier I payroll includes

 miscellaneous compensation.

3 Average of 12 mid-monthly figures.

NOTE.--Compensation data revised to include delayed reports. Compensation for the past five years is revised to reflect updated reports from railroad employers. F oreign 

railroad employees without a U.S. Social Security number are not included beginning in 2016. Average employment and total compensation based on Surface 

Transportation Board (STB) reports. For all employees, such data include estimates of employees and compensation not reported to the STB.
