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.
Once you reach the year of your full retirement age, yet before the month you reach full retirement, you can earn up to $37,680 without penalty. For each $3 you earn over the limit, Social Security deducts $1 from your benefit amount.
