Is it possible for wages to rise with the increase of insurance base (what does it mean to increase the social security contribution base)

If the insurance base is raised, wages will not necessarily rise, because the social security contribution base will not be adjusted at the same time as wages. Wage adjustment is an internal matter of the company, and the social security payment base should be submitted to the Social Security Bureau for further adjustment.

Generally speaking, the social insurance payment base of employees in that year is determined according to the average wage level of the previous year. The payment base of social insurance refers to the payment base of employees in a social insurance year. This method is determined according to the monthly average wage income of all employees from 1 month to1February in the previous year. The social security payment base is an important basis for calculating the upper and lower limits of employees' basic old-age insurance, and also for calculating employees' basic old-age insurance benefits.
