Tom's Life Bits

I took all the information from the estimates below and compiled it into a single table here:

<csv> Age, Monthly benefit, Start date 65, $2045, Nov 2011 66, $2191, Nov 2012 67, $2220, Nov 2013 68, $2395, Nov 2014 69, $2971, Nov 2015 70, $2892, Nov 2016 </csv>

I visited the SS web site and ran the estimator. They generate various scenarios for you. I requested estimates of ages 65, 66, 67 and they also gave me age 70 as a default. All this was done Jan 30, 2011.
