Social Security Turns 90 in 2025. What are average benefits by age?
Social Security turns 90 in 2025. As Selena Maranjian notes, it has kept many millions of people out of poverty for decades and was recently supporting more than 71 million people with around $1.5 trillion in benefits for the year. But benefits are far from generous, as they typically replace only around 40 percent of pre-retirement income. The author created the chart below to display what monthly benefits look like for various ages. Full article here.

| 62 | $1,298 | $1,440 | $1,167 |
| 65 | $1,563 | $1,733 | $1,410 |
