Samuel's full retirement age is 65 years old and his monthly benefit at that age is $1,000. According to the Social Security Administration retirement program, if Samuel decides to take retirement as early as age 63, his monthly benefit will be

Assuming that Samuel's retiring age is exactly 65 years old, and he starts collecting benefits 24 months before his full retirement age (exactly on his birthday number 63), then he will receive $867 per month (or 86.7% of his full benefits).

This calculation varies depending on the number of months, e.g.
