Are You on Track to Reach the $4,555 Max Social Security Benefit?
Most U.S. citizens will collect Social Security benefits in the future (if they aren't receiving them already). But most of these people won't be cashing the biggest-possible monthly check of $4,555. The average monthly Social Security payment for 2023 is just a little over $1,800.
Still, it's fun to think about getting a much larger monthly payment, which could make the difference between living comfortably or constantly worrying about running out of money.
How close are you to this kind of payout? Here's a rough look at what it takes to top out your future Social Security payments if you've not yet started collecting your checks.
