How will my Social Security be taxed? | Income taxes and Social Security | |||||||||||||||||||||
The marginal tax on SS benefits can be as high as 47% and depends on the amount of other income you receive, even though some of that income may not be taxable. This calculator lets you enter your income amounts and the amount of SS. The results show how much of the SS is taxed, an estimate of your total income tax and your marginal tax rate. | The complex relationship between income taxes, the amount of SS you receive and the amount of your other income is demonstrated in these tables. Income and SS benefit amounts can be changed to look at different situations. | |||||||||||||||||||||
When should I start SS? (Test Version) | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Should I start receiving SS at 62, wait until my normal retirement age or wait until I am 70? When will I "catch up" if I wait? This calculator gives you a look at these different scenarios. Please see the Program Notes before trying the calculator. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Income taxes on a Roth conversion | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Are you considering converting some of your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA? This calculator will show you the amount of extra income tax that will result from the conversion. | ||||||||||||||||||||||
General Considerations The calculators presented here are not designed for high income tax payers. In general, calculations for incomes that exceed the 28% tax bracket will not be correct. AMT is ignored as is phase-out of deductions at higher incomes. |

About Macros in MS Excel The calculators are MS Excel spreadsheets and require that MS Excel be installed on your computer. The calculators use macros to perform the calculations. Your installation of Excel may ask if you want to allow macros. You must enable macros for these calculators to function. This question is asked to allow you to block macros from sites that you do not trust. |
