Enter your date of birth as month, day, and year, separated by slashes. (Example: If you were born on May 7, 1950, enter 5/7/1950.)

Note: This calculator will accept a stop-work age up to 85. If the age you enter is less than 62, your benefit is estimated at age 62. If that age is at least 62, that is the age at which we estimate your benefit. (If you use 62 and you are more than 62 years old, we use your current age.)

years and months.

Your estimated benefit is shown in today's dollars, unless you choose to have it shown in future (inflated) dollars. If you choose future (inflated) dollars, the calculator bases the results on our estimates of how inflation could affect your benefit amount. (Use caution when using inflated dollar estimates to determine other retirement income sources you may need.)
