How much can i make at 64 and still make full social security?

Full retirement age is the age at which a person may first become entitled to full or unreduced retirement benefits. No matter what your full retirement age (also called "normal retirement age") is, you may start receiving benefits as early as age 62 or as late as age 70.

You can retire at any time between age 62 and full retirement age. However, if you start benefits early, your benefits are reduced a fraction of a percent for each month before your full retirement age. No mater how much or little you make, you don't get full benefits at 62.

With that said, once you exceed a certain threshold, the benefits you can receive before full retirement age may be further reduced based on your earnings If you are under full retirement age for the entire year, they deduct $1 from you benefit payments for every $2 you earn above the annual limit; for 2016, that limit is $15,720.

The year you reach full retirement age, they deduct $1 in benefits for every $3 you earn above a different limit, but they only count earnings before the month you reach your full retirement age.

If you will reached full retirement age in 2016, the limit on your earnings for the months before full retirement age was $41,880.

Starting with the month you reach full retirement age, you can get your benefits with no limit on your earnings.
