Social Security Income Gap Calculator
Most Americans expect Social Security to fund their retirement. The reality is that Social Security typically replaces only 35–45% of pre-retirement income for average earners — and even less for high earners. This calculator estimates your projected monthly gap and shows how permanent life insurance can create tax-free income to fill it.
All estimates are illustrative and based on SSA published average replacement rate data. Individual results vary. This tool is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
