<p>The Office of the Chief Actuary, Social Security Administration, produces a Social
Security Benefit Calculator. It produces the Social Security benefit for an
old-age, survivor, or disability claim, given the characteristics of a
particular worker (such as birth date, past earnings, and type of benefit). It
also produces the "primary insurance amount" (PIA), "maximum family benefit",
the actuarial reduction or increment factor (for early or delayed retirement),
and the monthly benefit amount.</p>

<p> The Detailed Calculator is a comprehensive benefit calculator which is designed
to compute historical benefits as well as estimate future benefits. It is somewhat
unwieldy and can be difficult to use. If you are estimating a future retirement
benefit, you may wish to use our
<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/planners/retire/AnypiaApplet.html">Online Calculator</a> first
because it is much easier to use. </p>

<p> There are two versions of the interactive calculator: one works on IBM PC's
and compatibles running recent versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system,
including Windows 10 and Windows 11.
It is possible that it may work on older versions of Windows, but we have
not been able to confirm this ourselves. The
other version runs under older versions of the Mac OS.
The benefit can be computed for either a new entitlement
or a recomputation after initial entitlement. Several pages of output are printed in the
application window, with summary results on the first page.
Later pages display details of the benefit computation.</p>
<p>The calculator can produce a benefit for any historical case from the first
Social Security benefit paid (1940). It can also produce a projected benefit,
based on standard or user-specified assumptions, through 2095.</p>
<p>Although we have tried to be as accurate as possible, this is not the same
calculator as is used for official Social Security calculations and it may
produce results that differ from an official calculation. In particular, for primary
benefits, we have made approximations for pre-1965 benefits and for the frozen minimum PIA,
and we only partially take account of disability non-exclusion computations and the
disability guarantee computation. In addition, the calculator is not set up to estimate
dependent or survivor benefits where the dependent or survivor also receives benefits
based on their own record, or survivor benefits where the benefit is affected by
the worker's retired worker benefit prior to death. Based on experience to date,
this calculator matches the official calculations very well, with most differences
due to late posting of earnings to the earnings record, or different assumptions
for projected benefits.</p>
<p>The current version of the Detailed Calculator is 2025.1, which we released on January 10, 2025.
This version, which takes into account all amendments to the law (with one exception discussed
below) and automatic adjustments through 2024, is now available at <a href="./download.html">this website</a>.
It updates the 2024.2 version by updating the economic data with the new
<a href="https://www.ssa.gov/OACT/COLA/index.html">automatic adjustments</a> announced in the fall of 2024.
This version of the calculator does not include the effects of the Social Security Fairness Act of 2023,
which eliminates the Windfall Elimination Provision and Government Pension Offset.
A version of the calculator which includes the effects of that law will be released later in 2025.</p>

<p>We now have a Mac OSX version of the Detailed Calculator. It is functional but still under development.
It has all the basic features that the Windows version has, and produces the
same results for a given case. However, it is lacking the more advanced features
of the Windows version, such as context-sensitive help. We will update it as we
implement new features.</p>
<p>In addition, the Mac version does not work on Macs running Lion or newer
versions of the OS X operating system. We hope to produce a Mac version which will
work on newer versions of OS X, but we have very limited resources to devote to
that project at this time.</p>
