How to use the Social Security Estimator
The Social Security Estimator is free and runs entirely in your browser — no sign-up, and nothing you enter leaves your device. It opens pre-filled with a realistic example, so you can see how it works before replacing any figure with your own; the results update as you type. Press Calculate to refresh the result panel, or Reset to return to the example.
The inputs it asks for:
- Average Indexed Monthly Earnings (AIME) — a dollar amount.
- Claiming Age — choose one — 62 (Early), 67 (Full Retirement Age), 70 (Delayed).
