Concepts & Classifications Concepts & Classifications Aggregation and consolidation Aggregation and consolidationIn some social security systems, both flat rate and progressive rate structures apply. Where these apply to the same base (e.g., gross earnings), the elements are aggregated for the purpose of reporting in this table.
For example,
- Assume a flat rate of 10.05% is applied to total gross earnings under one part of the social security contribution charge.
- Assume another element imposes a 1.5% rate on gross earnings between 0 and 97,200, and a 0.5% rate on gross earnings between 97,200 and 243,000.
Given the same base (gross earnings), the various charges can be consolidated as follows:
- 11.55% rate applicable to earnings between 0 and 92,000
- 10.55% rate applicable to earnings between 97,200 and 243,000; and
- 10.50% rate is applicable to earnings above 243,000.
