a Annual amounts are the total for the 12-month period starting with the month of retirement, adjusted to be in 2017 dollars by using the CPI indexing series from table VI.G6.
b Attains age 65 on January 1 of the year.
c Career-average earnings at about 25 percent of the AWI.
d Career-average earnings at about 45 percent of the AWI.
e Career-average earnings at about 100 percent of the AWI. Such a worker would have career-average earnings at approximately the 56th percentile of all new retired-worker beneficiaries.
f Career-average earnings at about 160 percent of the AWI.
g Earnings for each year at or above the contribution and benefit base.
h Average Wage Index from table VI.G6, adjusted to be in 2017 dollars by using the CPI indexing series from table VI.G6.
Note: Benefits shown at age 65 reflect adjustments for early retirement. For early retirement as early as age 62, the benefit amount is reduced 5/9 of one percent for each month before normal retirement age, up to 36 months. If the number of months exceeds 36, then the benefit is further reduced 5/12 of one percent per month. For example, if the number of reduction months is 60 (the maximum number for retirement at 62 when normal retirement age is 67), then the benefit is reduced by 30 percent. Delayed retirement credit is generally given for retirement after the normal retirement age. The delayed retirement credit is 2/3 of one percent per month for persons born in 1943 and later. No credit is given for delaying benefits after attaining age 70. See Table V.C3 for additional details, including adjustments applying to other birth years.
