Chart 1 Values

Proposed Provision: Make 90% of the earnings subject to the payroll tax (phased in 2011-2020). In addition, apply a tax rate of 6.2 percent for earnings above the revised taxable maximum, phased in from 2011-2020. This additional tax rate would be paid by employers on wages of their employees, and by self-employed workers on their earnings. Benefit computations for workers would only reflect earnings below the revised taxable maximum.
