About the Paid to Wait Calculator


Millions of Americans are making a major financial mistake and they don’t even realize it. While claiming Social Security benefits at age 62, as early as possible, may not have immediate consequences, it can be devastating later on in retirement. For retirees who lock in the smallest Social Security check possible, later in life it often just doesn’t provide enough income. This is especially true as many people don’t have pensions to supplement income and life expectancy continues to rise.


Brian’s Paid to Wait Calculator was created to show Americans how to receive maximum Social Security benefits the easy way – by getting paid to wait. Quite simply, it will show you the one strategy that will pay you the most amount of Social Security while delaying to age 70 and, as a result, maximizing your Social Security benefit.


For some married or divorced couples, their Paid to Wait number could be thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars, all while delaying Social Security until the maximum benefit. The best part: It’s free to find out how much you could receive!


Making a better Social Security claiming decision has never been easier. Get started now.
