View as web page


The online calculator developed by the Social Security Administration can provide immediate and accurate retirement benefits estimates to help you plan for your retirement. You will be asked to enter certain identifying information about yourself, including your last name, first name, date of birth, Social Security number, place of birth and mother's maiden name. The Retirement Estimator is completely secure, and does not release any personal information that could lead to identity theft. The security measures are in place because the estimator will utilize your actual earnings history. The estimator has a blocking feature that lets you prevent anyone else from estimating your retirement record.
