Quick Calculator

Although the “Quick Calculator” makes an initial assumption about your past earnings, you will have the opportunity to change the assumed earnings (click on “See the earnings we used” after you complete and submit the form below).

Benefit estimates depend on your date of birth and on your earnings history. For security, the “Quick Calculator” does not access your earnings record; instead, it will estimate your earnings based on information you provide. So benefit estimates made by the Quick Calculator are rough.

You must be at least
age 22 to use the form at right.

Lack of a substantial earnings history will cause
retirement benefit estimates to be unreliable.

By “retirement date,” we mean the month
in which you intend to stop working. We assume that this is also
the month for which you want benefits to begin. However, if you
enter a date before you are eligible for benefits, we will assume
you want to start receiving benefits at the earliest possible age
(age 62).

Note that using this option gives only one benefit estimate. If you
do not give a retirement date and if you have not reached your
normal (or full) retirement age, the
Quick Calculator will give benefit estimates for three different
retirement ages.
