If You Already Have A Benefit Estimate

Benefit amounts can be affected by a number of different factors. If you already have a benefit estimate, use the information on

• "More charts & calculators" to find out how different situations affect the Social Security benefit amount, and
• "Other things to consider" to help decide when it's the best time to start benefits.

The Social Security Statement is a concise, easy-to-read personal record of the earnings on which a worker has paid Social Security taxes during his/her working years and a summary of the estimated benefits he/she and his/her family may receive as a result of those earnings.
