- Social Security Benefit Calculator Download
The Office of the Actuary, Social Security Administration, produces a Social Security Benefit Calculator. It produces the Social Security benefit for an old-age, survivor, or disability claim, given the characteristics of a particular worker (such as birth date, past earnings, and type of benefit). It also produces the "primary insurance amount" (PIA), "maximum family benefit," the actuarial reduction or increment factor (for early or delayed retirement), and the monthly benefit amount (MBA). - Social Security Quick Calculator
Benefit estimates depend on your date of birth and on your earnings history. For security, the "Quick Calculator" can not access your earnings record; instead, it will estimate your earnings based on information you provide.
