Description of Proposed Provision:
E3.9: Beginning in 2025, apply 2 percent payroll tax rate on earnings over the wage-indexed equivalent of $200,000 in 2017 (about $274,500 in 2025), with the threshold wage-indexed after 2025. Do not provide benefit credit for additional earnings taxed.
Estimates based on the intermediate assumptions of the 2017 Trustees Report
