Proposed Provision: E3.16. Beginning in 2024, apply 4 percent payroll tax rate on earnings above the wage-indexed equivalent of $400,000 in 2015 (about $557,700 in 2024), with the threshold wage-indexed after 2024. Provide benefit credit for additional earnings taxed, using a secondary PIA formula. This secondary PIA formula involves: (1) an "AIME+" derived from annual earnings taxed only between 2015 wage-indexed equivalents of $400,000 and $500,000, or about $557,700 and $697,200 in 2024 (with thresholds wage-indexed after 2024); and (2) a formula factor of 2 percent on this newly computed "AIME+".
