Social Security Benefits Estimator
Enter income by career phase. See SS credits earned, AIME, PIA, monthly benefit at 62/67/70, break-even ages, and what more working years add to your benefit.
Built for freelancers and self-employed workers. You pay both halves of FICA — 15.3% on net income — but every dollar counts toward your SS credits and AIME. This estimator helps you understand what you're building toward, and whether more working years materially change the outcome.
