The maximum Social Security retirement benefit payable in the USA can vary based on factors such as your earnings history, the age at which you start receiving benefits, and whether you're eligible for any other Social Security benefits (such as spousal benefits). However, there is a figure known as the “maximum taxable earnings” limit that can impact the calculation of your benefit.
For individuals retiring at full retirement age (FRA), which ranges from 65 to 67 depending on your birth year, the maximum benefit amount may be subject to change annually due to adjustments for inflation. For example, if you retire at full retirement age in 2023, your maximum benefit would be $3,627. However, if you retire at age 62 in 2023, your maximum benefit would be $2,572. If you retire at age 70 in 2023, your maximum benefit would be $4,555.
It's important to note that these figures can change over time due to adjustments and policy changes. To get the most accurate and up-to-date information about the maximum Social Security retirement benefit payable, I recommend visiting the official Social Security Administration (SSA) website https://www.ssa.gov/ or contacting the SSA directly.
They have online calculators and resources that can help you estimate your potential benefits based on your specific situation.
