Social Security: How your benefits could differ

Social Security: How your benefits could differ
As you attempt to estimate the amount of money you will have in retirement, social security benefits are a part of the equation. Taking Social Security benefits can start anytime between age 62-70.
Before reaching full retirement age – which is 66 for those born between 1943-54 – the amount of benefit is less than 100 percent. After reaching full retirement age (find your full retirement age here), the Social Security benefit increases eight percent each year.
If a person had a full retirement age Social Security benefit of $1,000 monthly, this is the amount of money they would have earned to certain ages (this does not take into account inflation and cost of living adjustments):
AGE | Annual | Age 72 | Age 75 | Age 78 | Age 80 | Age 82 | Age 85 | Age 90 |
62 | $9,000 | $90,000 | $117,000 | $144,000 | $162,000 | $180,000 | $207,000 | $252,000 |
