Playing with the numbers, it looks like the "gross income" tipper is $185,000. That seems reasonable. I've long maintained that every dollar you make over $130,000/yr. matters way more than every dollar before it. Folks that make 200,000/yr are WAY better off than folks that make 150,000 a year. Difference is much less noticeable between $50,000 and $100,000; or $100,000 and $150,000.
It helps when you hit that social security cap and it's no longer taken out of your paycheck.
