Over65? 2027 Social Security Raise: Your New Check in Dollars — Likely the Biggest Since 2023

How much will your Social Security check go up in 2027? The official raise (COLA) is scheduled to be announced on October 14 — but two of the three months that decide it are already in. We ran the math with the official CPI-W numbers: our estimate is about 3.4% to 3.5%, which would likely be the biggest raise since 2023. In this video: - How the COLA is calculated (and why no one votes on it) - Our estimate, and where the numbers stand today - Your raise in dollars: $1,000 → +$35 · $1,500 → +$52.50 · $2,000 → +$70 · $2,500 → +$87.50 · $3,000 → +$105 (at 3.5%) - What Medicare's projected Part B increase ($202.90 → about $209.50) takes back - Why the raise can nudge more of your Social Security into taxable income - When the raise arrives: January 13, 20 or 27, 2027 — or December 31, 2026 for some 📅 On October 14 we'll post the official number and the updated math the same day.
