4. Working longer can increase your Social Security benefits

If you are planning to delay receiving Social Security benefits until you are 70, you must know that this will increase your checks by 8% each year. Sounds promising, right? Your Social Security payment is calculated using your 35 years of peak earnings. If your current income is higher than previous ones, your benefit may be slightly increased .

The individuals most likely to gain from working longer hours are those who have experienced numerous years of low or no income during those 35 years.

5. Your Social Security benefits could be taxable

If you’re planning on getting a job after retirement, your Social Security benefits may become taxable if your gross income increases above a certain limit. And what percentage of the total benefits are taxable, you may ask? Around 85%. In case this thing lingers in your head and you want to find out more about this subject, don’t hesitate to ask a tax advisor. They will know exactly how much of the gross income is taxable, depending on the income, and how you can avoid this particular situation.

Tip: Working during your retirement years may have a lot of benefits, but on the other hand, it’s crucial to know what you will be gaining and what you will lose in the process.
