Before counting gyros, we count earnings. Explore the wage used by the Index and the reconstruction from historical payroll worksheets.
Reconstruction under review
Reconstruction · before tax, without subsidy
412.32 €
Difference from the published series: +3.66 €
Both amounts are annual equivalents divided by the months of the year, before personal income tax. This difference concerns payment timing, contribution rates and other deductions. The reconstruction has not replaced the Index.
Only the wage basis changes. The year's prices and portion assumptions stay fixed, before tax and without subsidy. The reconstruction remains under review.
Monthly-equivalent difference: +3.66 € · +0.9%
The product sold at the time, without portion normalisation.
Same price in both calculations: 0.8220 €.
The product after the existing common-portion adjustment.
Same price in both calculations: 0.8980 €.
Gyro difference = monthly-equivalent difference ÷ unchanged price. Calculations use full values; only the display is rounded.
Starting with the published series, we replace assumptions with the worksheet's assumptions in sequence. Each amount is the change in the monthly equivalent at that step.
| Step | Change / month |
|---|---|
| Published-series rounding | less than €0.01 |
| Wages and periods within the year | +3.99 € |
| Bonuses and leave allowance | +2.14 € |
| Employee contributions | +0.49 € |
| Other payroll deductions | -2.96 € |
| Total difference | 3.66 € |
Wages change first at the published payment and deduction factors; bonuses, contributions and other deductions follow. The order affects the allocation, not the total. These are not uncertainty shares or approval of the reconstruction. Rounded displays may differ slightly from the exact sum.
Worksheet with the original amountsCompares the available non-projected years under two wage bases. This is not a test of every model or a probability of correctness.
Excluded projections: 2026.
Two wage bases crossed with selected price tests. Not probabilities, confidence intervals or payroll approval. Portion assumptions stay fixed. The 1983 price endpoints are stresses, not observed annual means, and propagate into dependent 1981–1982 interpolation. Projected 2026 is excluded.
These cases cover all non-projected years, not only the selected year. A year's number of wins is not a probability.

Articles 4–5 · PDF 2, printed page 688
What it supports: Christmas, Easter and leave allowance attract contributions separately. The workday is the time basis, subject to more specific regulations.
What remains open: It does not by itself supply every bonus-day multiplier or prove unchanged application across all years.
Government Gazette, A 189 · 13/11/1978
Article 1(1), (3)–(4) · PDF 2, printed page 1779
What it supports: Replaces class-placement wording with contributions based on daily pay and links the cap to the highest class. Allows specific imputed-pay categories.
What remains open: The preceding period needs the applicable insurance basis and class tables. Finding a ceiling alone does not certify all contributions for 1976–1978.
We subtract contributions and other deductions from total annual gross earnings. We do not simply multiply the December wage. Missing values remain missing.

Conditional contribution subsidy: 0.00 € annually · 0.00 € as a monthly equivalent.
It is excluded from the comparison above. Eligibility, calculation basis and receipt timing need verification. A receipt may relate to a previous year, as recorded in the detailed worksheet.
We change one choice at a time within the same reconstruction, before tax and without subsidy. These are sensitivity checks, not a new series or a probability interval.
04/04/1998 · wage before Easter
0.00 €
Change in the monthly equivalent, holding bonus rates and multiplier fixed.
May–September test · August baseline
412.03 € – 412.32 €
Monthly-equivalent range. Only leave allowance and its contributions change; holiday-bonus uplift stays fixed.
Across all years, the Easter-reference check agrees numerically in 51 of 51 worksheets. The largest leave-timing range is 0.75 € per month.
May–September is the selected test window, not a rule determining leave entitlement. Ranges must not be added. Ceilings are assessed separately in the next section; small calendar differences do not establish full legal approval.
Recorded contributions per monthly equivalent: 78.51 €. Other payroll deductions: 2.96 €.
The worksheet applies employee stamp deductions. Uninterrupted applicability of the rate throughout the earlier period remains under review.

Above the ceiling, part of earnings stops attracting contributions. We compare recorded gross earnings with documented limits. Ordinary salary and bonuses are checked separately.
Fixed monthly pay, full-time throughout the year, no seniority increment, heavy work, special fund, variable pay or concurrent job. First insurance is tested separately: before 1993 or from 1993. Age does not determine this status.
Highest ordinary salary in the worksheet: 144,900 GRD
Ordinary salary: Does not cap earnings
Bonuses and leave allowance: Evidence still needed
Conservative lower bound on the full-month ceiling: 543,750 GRD. Difference from the highest salary: 398,850 GRD.
01/01/1998 – 31/12/1998
Lower bound on ceiling: 21,750 GRD × 25 = 543,750 GRD.
Highest salary in months overlapping the period: 144,900 GRD. The bound is sufficient.
Conservative minimum from the dated circular table, not the exact ceiling in every period of the year.
Ordinary salary: No ceiling applies
Bonuses and leave allowance: No ceiling applies
01/01/1998 – 31/12/1998
No ceiling applies
Highest salary in months overlapping the period: 144,900 GRD. The bound is sufficient.
This checks ceilings under the stated profile and existing gross amounts. It does not approve all contribution rates, supplementary-fund affiliation, legally payable days or the complete payroll. Old-insured bonuses and post-2016 bonus ceiling rules remain separate gaps.
A documented non-binding ordinary-salary ceiling is established for at least one insurance case in 44 of 51 years. This is not a count of fully approved payroll years.
Without that evidence in this assessment: 1976, 1977, 1978, 1982, 1990, 1991, 1992.
We compare the highest salary with the lowest ceiling covering the complete year. Daily ceilings use 25 days for a full ordinary month. This multiplier is not transferred to bonuses. Missing evidence stays unknown, never zero contributions.
A conservative lower bound is identified as an inference from sources, not an observed ceiling. If even this bound exceeds salary, it suffices to rule out capping. If lower, the result remains unresolved. Individual period checks do not fill intervals without evidence.
