Estimate the average social security benefits for a retired


Estimate the average Social Security benefits for a retired couple. Assume that one spouse has a part-time job that pays him $21,000 a year, and that this person also receives another $44,000 a year from a company pension. Assume that the earnings limit was $14,640 per year. Also assume for Social Security benefits the recipients are aged below 67 and will lose $1 in benefits for every $2 they earn above the earnings test amount. Also assume that they would have to pay taxes of 50% on a combined income between $32,000 and $44,000, of their Social Security benefits. If their combined income is more than $44,000, up to 85% of their Social Security benefits is subject to income tax. Round your answer to the nearest dollar.
