Social Security Posts Retirement Age Calculator

Description: 

The age at which Americans can receive regular Social Security benefits is gradually increasing from age 65 to age 67. This change affects people born in 1938 or later, so the year 2000 is the first year when people must start considering the financial impact of taking early benefits at age 62, or delaying benefits until a later year. The Social Security Administration (SSA) has posted an online calculator which allows you to input a birth year to find out at what age you will be eligible for regular benefits. The site also includes information on how much benefits will increase if retirement is delayed until age 72.
