This calculator allows you to estimate your
Social Security benefit.
For the most precise estimates, use
the Detailed Calculator.
You need to enter all your past earnings, which are shown
on your Social Security Statement. We automatically send Social Security
Statements to workers or former workers age 25 or older about 3 months
before their birthdays. If you have not received a Statement, you
can request a Statement online. You will receive it by mail in 2-4
weeks. If you request a Statement this year, we will not automatically
send you another Statement until next year.

earnings in our database. Instead, we ask you to insert your earnings
in the calculator. In the future, as we develop more secure authentication
procedures we will insert your numbers directly from our earnings
database.)
