If you're wondering how your Social Security check stacks up to the average, you're looking for a single benchmark. As of September 2026, the average monthly benefit for retired workers is $2,088.79, according to the Social Security Administration (SSA) Monthly Statistical Snapshot. That amounts to about $25,065.48 per year. This figure is a broad average that spans every retired worker in the system, from 62-year-olds to those aged 99 and older. Because it covers such a wide range of people, your own check could look very different. The payment you receive depends heavily on your work history and when you claim. Image source: Getty Images.
