Are You Eligible for the $4,194 Max Social Security Benefit?

The average retiree benefit amount falls around $1,657 per month, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA), but it's possible to earn much more. The SSA will take an average of your wages over the 35 years of your career that you earned the most. Your basic benefit amount (or the amount calculated by the SSA) assumes you'll be filing at your full retirement age (FRA).
