What is the best age to start your Social Security benefits? What if you start at 62 with reduced benefits, but invest and get compound interest? Or is it a good idea for you to wait until 70 for increased benefits? The Social Security Calculator is a powerful estimating tool that can answer these questions and help you plan for retirement.
