Yesterday, I wasted quite a bit of time at SSA.gov trying to figure out how to estimate my SS benefit. I am 59 and according to thier calculators I am eligible for $2,473.00/mo it I start taking my benefits at 66, this assumes constant income and associated SS taxes for the next 7 years.
I am trying to get an estimate of my benefit at age 66, but stopping work at ages 61 or 62. Whenever I input the information it seems to automatically assume I will start taking SS at age 62. Can anyone direct me to the calculator where you have the flexibility to input an early retirement age, but with plans to delay SS benefit to age 66?
My interest is to see how much less than the $2,473.00 estimate I should expect to receive if you SS tax contribution stops at 4 or 5 years early.
Thanks
Tom
