USA Social Security Retirement Calculator
Get a rough estimate of your US Social Security retirement benefit based on your average earnings and the age you plan to start claiming. Someone who averaged $5,000 a month ($60,000 a year) over a full 35-year career and starts claiming at full retirement age (67) would see about $2,350 a month under the 2026 formula, while claiming at 62 permanently reduces that figure by up to 30%, and waiting until 70 raises it by about 24%.
