DH will start claiming SS next year. For those who recently claimed, did you find that your actual amount was close to the projected amount from SS online? He has been retired for 6 years, so no new earned income to consider.

DW just claimed SS. The amount was exactly equal to the simple on-estimator.
Actually, we met with the local SS office about six months ago to confirm the estimate. It was dead-on with the detailed estimate they had at that time, as well.
Did you have several years of zero's before you filed?

Yes, she quit working in 2010.
Did she contribute to SS for 35 years, then have 7 years of zeros when filed?
For me the online estimator was either dead on or within single digits, I forget exactly now, it's been a while. And like your DH I hadn't worked for a couple of years before applying for SS.
