The maximum amount of salary that Social Security considers subject to the payroll tax is currently $128,700 per year, which is the same amount of earnings it will credit toward your benefit. One way to maximize your benefit is to earn the maximum income throughout your career. Yes, that’s easier said than done, of course, but make sure you push for raises at your job and make the most money you possibly can.
