The calculator shown below allows you to estimate your Social Security benefits.
You need to enter all your past earnings, which are shown on your Social Security Statement, which you may now access online from the Social Security Administration.
Date of birth

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.)
Age at retirement

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.

Today's dollars or future dollars

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.)
Annual earnings

Enter your annual earnings from 1951 to 2012. Your Social Security Statement lists these earnings year by year under the heading "Your Taxed Social Security Earnings." Note: We normally don't use earnings before 1951 to calculate benefits. Also, if you were born after 1951, any earnings you enter before your year of birth will be ignored.
