Social Security Taxable Benefits

Use this calculator to estimate how much of your Social Security benefit is subject to income taxes. For modest and low incomes, none of your Social Security benefit is subject to income taxes. However, once your income plus 50% of your Social Security benefit exceeds $32,000 for married couples filing jointly and $25,000 for everyone else, an ever increasing portion of your benefit is subject to income taxes. For higher incomes, up to 85% of your Social Security benefit is subject to incomes taxes and can have a significant impact on your net after-tax benefit.
