I am not using a calculation as I'm 9 years away from SS.

But was taking the numbers from the SS calculator that I downloaded from the SS website.

It looks to me that if we both waited until full retirement age that we'd go over the MFB. - Don't know for sure though.

I just looked at the MFB. Maybe I'm not understanding this right. If you have 2 workers husband and wife. Do they add the Benefits together to come up with a MFB or can both workers together exceed this amount?
