When to start taking your Social Security benefits?

The monthly payment can grow even further if you decide to wait till age 70. It is nice start getting the funds sooner than later but does it really work out better?

The answer depends on how long you plan on working, marital status, life expectancy, inflation and other factors. A careful analysis is needed to make an informed once-in-a-lifetime decision.

Not Bad

Overall, good tool to help you see the SS payments you potentially can receive at different ages. I checked with the govt SS site and the amounts are close enough. You input your FRA amount to start.

I think there is a cal bug with the break even point. You can select another scenario to see how many years it will take if you were to wait between the two scenarios. I selected the first scenario at 69 yrs 11 months and the other at 70 yrs and it said 12 yrs for a break even point. Perhaps I did something wrong. Not sure???

Excellent

Great planning tool for analyzing long term advantages or disadvantages of taking social security benefits at a time other than the full retirement age. It provides an easy way to do what-if analysis for married couples in determining when each spouse should start drawing the benefits. Interactive graphs are helpful.
I found the app to be flexible for projecting post retirement years. You can analyze different life span for each spouse and under varying rates of inflation. This app serves a good purpose in helping you make an informed decision.

Good, but cannot print/save report

Easy to use app, visually helpful to understand, fast. The “email” function/button shut down the app, which is very annoying. Also can’t save, which greatly limits use. Please fix the shutting down when clicking email.
