Here's the Average Social Security Benefit for Couples in 2022
The upside of being married in retirement is having a partner to share experiences and expenses with. The downside, though, is having more expenses.
It costs more money to pay for food, healthcare, and other essentials for two people than one. But thankfully, senior couples typically receive more Social Security income than singles.
In 2022, the average individual monthly Social Security benefit will be $1,657. That number accounts for the 5.9% cost-of-living adjustment recipients are getting in the new year.
