📰2026 COLA is 2.8%📈
CPI-U YTD is 2.9% and it was 2.9% in 2024 yet the COLA for the full year is only 2.8%.
Do not forget that the base rate subject to the combined 15.3% (16.2% if you make over $200K) total Payroll Tax goes up faster than inflation each year.
"Nobody" in government talks about the massive tax increase on middle income earnings which is the much higher percentage increase (4.8%!) in the maximum earnings subject to the tax.
