At what age does waiting until 70 break even with claiming at 62?

Typically, the cumulative breakeven age is around age 78 to 80 when comparing age 67 vs. 62, and around age 82.5 when comparing age 70 vs. 67. If you expect to live past age 82, delaying to age 70 maximizes your total lifetime wealth.

Can I work while collecting Social Security early?

Yes, but if you claim before your Full Retirement Age, the Social Security Retirement Earnings Test applies. In 2026, if you earn above the annual threshold (~$23,400), the SSA temporarily withholds $1 for every $2 earned above the limit. Once you reach FRA, this penalty disappears and withheld benefits are returned in higher monthly checks.

How are spousal benefits calculated?

A spouse can receive up to 50% of the primary earner's Full Retirement Age benefit (PIA) if claimed at their own FRA. If the spouse claims early at age 62, their spousal benefit is reduced to approximately 32.5% of the primary earner's PIA.
