TL;DR Summary
The maximum Social Security benefit for retirees in 2024 is $4,873 per month, but very few people receive this amount. To achieve the maximum benefit, individuals need to earn a high income, with the salary needed to max out Social Security being $168,600 in 2024. Additionally, they must have 35 years of maximum earnings and wait until age 70 to claim benefits. However, this combination is not feasible for most Americans, and the average monthly benefit for a retired worker is $1,845.
