If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, we deduct $1 from your benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit. For 2017, that limit is $16,920. In the year you reach full retirement age, we deduct $1 in benefits for every $3 you earn above a different limit. In 2017, the limit on your earnings is $44,880 but we only count earnings before the month you reach your full retirement age.
If you are younger than full retirement age, there is a limit to how much you can earn and still receive full benefits. If you earn more than $15,720 (in 2016), Social Security will deduct $1 from your benefits for each $2 you earn over the threshold. In the year you reach full retirement age, you can earn up to $41,880 (in 2016) without having a reduction in benefits.
