We all love to benchmark ourselves against others and knowing the average Social Security payment by age helps us make sense of the world around us. This video will give you the average payment across a whole spectrum of ages and talks about the source and methodology of this information.

Knowing the average Social Security payment by age has another important function: it allows you to understand where others are landing so that you can get land there too - or at least know what makes up their payment versus what makes up yours (for reference there are three primary drivers to the size of your Social Security payment and they are each discussed in this video).

This video also explains why knowing the 'average number' isn't the most important factor when looking at how much you receive.

For reference, please find below the complete schedule of Social Security payments by age, according to the June 2020 Social Security Administration report. To estimate calendar 2021 numbers add 1.3% (the cost of living adjustment for 2021) to the amounts below:
