Income-tax contributions are allocated proportionally across federal general-fund categories each year. Social Security (6.2% of wages up to the annual wage base) and Medicare (1.45% of all wages) are funded by FICA payroll tax — for a salary below the SS wage base ($142,800 in 2021, $184,500 in 2026), both stay flat year-over-year because the rate and base never bind. Bracket-inflation adjustments to income tax still show up in the bar height. Category-level outlays for FY2021–FY2026 are approximations consistent with published Treasury totals; will be refined against final OMB Historical Tables.
