If you already have a Statement in hand, then you have three choices for trying different calculations of your Social Security benefit. Two of them require you to input the earnings that you have on your Statement.
The third calculator, the Retirement Estimator, requires that you log-in using some of the information on your Social Security card application. The estimate it gives you is based on our record of your earnings.
Would you like to try different calculations than the one on your Social Security Statement?
|
YES |
We have three calculators you can use. (A fourth one, the Quick calculator, produces a simple, rough estimate. It should not be used if you were born before 1938 OR if you do not expect to have earnings this year.)
-
You can use the Retirement Estimator for a retirement estimate based on real time access to your earnings record. (This calculator requires a secure log-in using your name, Social Security number, date and place of birth and mother's maiden name.)
-
An online calculator that requires you to enter year by year earnings from your Statement. You can test various scenarios and retirement ages to estimate your benefits.
-
A downloadable calculator. This calculator must be downloaded and installed, but it provides more options for testing retirement scenarios. You must also enter year-by-year earnings from your Statement. Use this calculator only if you are comfortable with installing new software on a PC.
