Governing Mathematical Formula:
Monthly Benefit = PIA × (1 ± Actuarial Adjustment Factor)

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Early Claiming Reduction (Age 62-66)

Claiming early at age 62 reduces your PIA by 30% permanently (5/9 of 1% per month for first 36 months + 5/12 of 1% for remaining).

2
Delayed Retirement Credits (Age 67-70)

Delaying past FRA yields an 8.0% guaranteed real increase per year up to age 70 (max +24%).
