## Key facts
- Uses SSA's earnings-to-benefit formula — called the AIME-to-PIA calculation — with current bend points to produce a monthly benefit estimate. (AIME = your lifetime earnings average; PIA = your base monthly benefit.) - Helps you understand the financial impact of an SSDI approval before you apply. - Also estimates back pay based on your onset date and application date. - For the most precise figure, check your official Social Security Statement at ssa.gov/myaccount — it shows SSA's own estimate based on your actual earnings record.
