📖 How It Works

This calculator finds your optimal retirement age based on birth year, life expectancy, and Social Security claiming strategy.

FRA depends on birth year: 67 for those born 1960+, 66 for 1954 or earlier. Benefits increase ~8%/year if delayed past FRA to 70.

Long life expectancy? Delay to 70. Shorter life expectancy? Claim earlier at 62 to maximize total benefits received.

Claiming at 62 gives ~30% less than FRA. Waiting until 70 gives ~124% of FRA. Break-even is typically age 78-82.

Consider health, family history, financial needs, and personal goals when deciding your optimal retirement age.

Choosing the right claiming age can increase lifetime Social Security benefits by tens of thousands of dollars.

Retiring at the right age ensures enough savings and income to maintain your desired lifestyle through retirement.
