Maximum Social Security retirement benefit

What is the maximum monthly Social Security retirement benefit?


The maximum benefit depends on the age a worker chooses to retire.  For example, for a worker retiring at age 66 in 2012, the amount is $2,513.  This figure is based on earnings at the maximum taxable amount for every year after age 21.
