How this calculator works
Your average indexed monthly earnings run through the 2026 benefit formula: 90% of the first $1,286, 32% up to $7,749 and 15% above. That's your benefit at full retirement age, 67. Claiming early cuts it by up to 30%; waiting adds 8% a year until 70.
Worked example
With the example values below: Monthly benefit at 67, $2,746 (full-retirement-age benefit $2,746). Change any number above to run your own.
