The average Social Security check in 2020 is $1,503.

Luckily, CNBC did the math for a wide range of salaries, and we can estimate your future benefits if you make between $30,000 and $100,000 a year.
Remember: Social Security was not envisioned as your sole source of money for retirement, and the totals are always changing.
