What is the impact of social security not paying according to actual wages?

Legal analysis: If the wage base paid by social security is low, individuals and units will withhold less, while if the wage base is high, individuals and units will withhold more, which will affect future retirement wages.

Legal basis: Article 7 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law. The administrative department of social insurance in the State Council is responsible for the national social insurance management, and other relevant departments in the State Council are responsible for the relevant social insurance work within their respective functions and duties. The social insurance administrative department of the local people's government at or above the county level shall be responsible for the social insurance management within its administrative area, and other relevant departments of the local people's government at or above the county level shall be responsible for the relevant social insurance work within their respective functions and duties.
