In 1980 the combined employee and employer Social Security tax was 15%, and the monthly wage was $2,400. The number of workers was 90 million and the number of beneficiaries was 10 million.
Calculate the average Social Security benefit.
By 2010 the inflation adjusted monthly wage was $2,600, the number of workers was 80 million, and the number of beneficiaries was 20 million. What would the tax rate have to be to provide the same inflation adjusted monthly benefit that you were able to calculate for part a? (If you were unable to determine the benefit in part a, use $3,000 for this problem.)
