A major concern with Social Security is the possibility that funds will not be available when today’s tax-payers retire to become beneficiaries. According to the Social Security Trustee’s report, an increase of 1.89% in the Social Security payroll tax would keep the account full for the next 75 years. To achieve similar results, benefits would have to be decreased from the current 42% of the ending salary to 29% of the salary. Cindy is relatively new to the workforce. She has 32 years until s
1a) $45,000 * 0.062 = $2,7901b) 6.2% + 1.89% = 8.09%; $45,000 * 0.0809 = $3640.502a) $45,000 * 0.42 = $18,900 2b) 42% - 13% = 29% $45,000 * 0.029 = $13,050 3) You should probably recommend she pay the extra taxes now. If the tax were increased by 1.89%. Cindy would have to pay an extra $3640.50 - $2,790 = $850.50 per year for the 32 years before she retires. This adds up to $27,216 over the length of 32 years. On the other hand, if benefits were decreased from 42% of her salary to 29% of her salary the time of Cindy’s retirement (approximations), she would receive $18,900 - $13,050 = $5,850 less per year after she retires. This adds up to $58,500 in just 10 years.
