If you have a job, your employer may send a Form W-2 to Social Security. If you are your own boss, your income information is taken from your personal tax returns. Your benefit will be calculated after Social Security deducts any income from work from this tax. This calculation is strictly based on the average monthly income over the 35 years you have earned the best income of your entire working life. This is indexed to the historical trends of the American waffle, a process that is very similar to adjusting for inflation.
If your recent earnings are in the top 35, this will inevitably increase your average monthly amount and your benefit amount. If you have any doubts about this, call Social Security at 800-772-113 to clear any doubts about how your earnings may affect your benefits. Please be aware that in addition to any income-based calculations, Social Security tends to make an annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) to your benefits, which is strictly based on inflation, if any.
