What is your Social Security benefit?

This tool estimates your monthly Social Security retirement benefit from your birth year, career earnings, and the age you claim.

  • Enter your birth year, average annual salary, and the age you plan to claim.
  • We estimate your primary benefit using the Social Security bend-point formula, then set your full retirement age from your birth year.
  • Claiming before full retirement age lowers the benefit; delaying past it raises the benefit up to age 70.
Example: born in 1975 with a $60,000 average salary, claiming at 67 (full retirement age) estimates about $2,345 a month.

Estimates only, using 2026 bend points and the $184,500 wage base and assuming steady lifetime earnings. Your actual benefit depends on your full earnings record. Not affiliated with the SSA.
