Calculating Social Security Disability Benefits
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are calculated mainly based on an individual's work history and earnings record, not the severity of their disability. The process involves determining the Average Indexed Monthly Earnings (AIME) and then applying a formula to calculate the Primary Insurance Amount (PIA), which forms the basis of monthly payments. The benefit amount varies depending on past earnings and work duration, with the average monthly benefit in 2026 around $1,630.
