How Much Will I Get From Social Security If I Make $100,000?
Fortune tellers use crystal balls, tea leaves, and tarot cards to see the future. Thankfully, you don't have to resort to psychic tools and mystical arts to predict your Social Security benefit. The Social Security Administration (SSA) opts for a more concrete approach, in the form of online calculators and other estimators.
In 2020, the average Social Security benefit is $1,503 monthly and the maximum benefit is $3,790. A six-figure salary translates into a benefit that's between those two numbers -- but where the benefit lands, exactly, is influenced by other factors beyond your current income. Your income in prior years, your age today, and the timing of your benefits claim are also important. If you're willing to make some assumptions, it is possible to estimate your future monthly Social Security benefit.
