Ever since I was in college, in the late 90s, I’ve been hearing about how will not be sufficient by the time I’m ready to retire, sometime in the 2040s.

Did you know that there are caps to the 6.2% that W2 workers pay, and the 6.2% that their employers pay; 12.4% if you’re self employed.

That threshold for this year is $176.1k this year, which is almost $22k per person, this year.

Why is there a threshold when the system is so “broke?”

For someone making $500k per year, because of this threshold, social security doesn’t get $40k…. Someone making a million, $102k, $10m, $1.2M.

Curious what the Patriotic Millionaires thinks of this?

I wanted to share this chart as many companies use it to calculate their proposal escalation rates for labor as well as benefits.

Private sector labor rates have been sliding down for the past year from a high of 5.1% in Dec and Jun of 2022 to the current 4.1% in December 2023.

I've found that, when negotiating directly with Contracting Officers, leveraging the "no-cost" data sources, like the U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), helps when defending your prices proposed.

Feel free to use and share this if it helps.

Make it a great day ✌🏼
