Social Security has announced the 2027 raise: 3.6%, starting in January 2027. Two things affect how much of it you'll actually see in your check.
The first is Medicare Part B. If you get Social Security, it usually comes out of your check, so your net raise depends on it. The 2027 Part B premium hasn't been announced yet. SSA says your 2027 premium amount will show in your my Social Security Message Center starting in late November.
The second is the tax return Social Security uses for Medicare. Higher earners can pay an added amount, and it's generally based on your income from two years earlier. For 2027, that's usually your 2025 return.
