By Investopedia AAA |. A: The maximum monthly Social Security benefit payment for a person retiring in 2014 at full retirement age is $2,642. However, the maximum allowable benefit amount is only payable to those who have the maximum taxable earnings in all their working years.
SPECIAL REPORT: Maximizing Social Security Benefits. Your Social Security benefits are calculated based on your highest 35 years of earnings or half of your spouseâs benefits -- whichever is higher -- if you retire at full retirement age (currently 66). For a worker retiring at age 66 in 2012, the maximum benefit is currently $2,513 per month. If both you and your spouse earned the maximum amount that counts every year ($110,100 in 2012, but just $16,500 in 1977), you could each receive the maximum monthly benefits.
