Proposed Provision: E3.10. Beginning in 2028, apply 2 percent payroll tax rate on earnings over the wage-indexed equivalent of $300,000 in 2017 (about $438,600 in 2028), with the threshold wage-indexed after 2028. Provide proportional benefit credit for additional earnings taxed, based on the payroll tax rate applied to the additional earnings divided by the full 12.4 percent payroll tax rate.
