Proposed Provision: Beginning in 2016, apply 4 percent payroll tax rate on earnings above the wage-indexed equivalent of $400,000 in 2015, with the threshold wage-indexed after 2016. 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; and (2) a formula factor of 2 percent on this newly computed "AIME+".
