Is it illegal for social security base to be higher than salary?

Legal analysis: it is not illegal for social security base to be higher than salary. The high social security base requires enterprises and individuals to pay more, and of course, the higher the amount of insurance they enjoyed at that time. The proportion of enterprises paying social security is much higher than that of individuals. If the income is lower than the social security base through calculation, we can weigh the pros and cons and suggest that the company adjust the social security base.

Legal basis: Article 58 of People's Republic of China (PRC) Social Insurance Law.

The employing unit shall, within 30 days from the date of employment, apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration for its employees. If the social insurance has not been registered, the social insurance agency shall verify the social insurance premium it should pay.

Employees-free individual industrial and commercial households who voluntarily participate in social insurance, part-time employees who do not participate in social insurance in the employing unit and other flexible employees shall apply to the social insurance agency for social insurance registration.

The state establishes a national unified personal social security number. Personal social security number is a citizen's identity number.
