I'm terrible at math, If I am recieving 35.5% of my exhusban's social security, what is the amount he is getting?

If your ex-husband's social security is $1000 then multiply 1000 by .355 which would give you $355. He's getting 64.5%

If your husband retired at his full retirement age (65+10months) and contributed to the SS the maximum then he should be getting 2185 dollars and you should be getting 775. If you are getting less means that he is also receiving less than 2185 dollars.

If you divide the amount you are getting by 35.5% the result would be the TOTAL amount of SS. Subtract your amount from that and you will know how much he is getting.

Come on, you really can't figure out what's 100 minus 35.5? It's 64.5%....

he is getting almost double what you are getting.

not enough info. We need to know how much you are getting. Take what you get, multiply by 65.5 and add it. That's your amount

This is a response to Romflex69x. No I am not an accountant but an engineer. Engineers are trained to think. First she is asking for an amount and not for a percentage. Logically thinking if she admits that she is bad in maths why should she ask for a percentage if she can not work out the number from it? Therefore she is interested to know how much $'s her ex is getting in his pocket. If you go to the SS home page you will find that for 2008 the Max amount one can receive at the age of 65+10 months is 2185 $'s. 35.5% of 2185 is 775.6 $'s. Doing a small extrapolation from what she is getting in the hand she can figure out exactly what her ex is receiving. The unknown parameters here are the exact age when the ex retired and his real contributions throughout his working life.

64.5%

1-35.5% = 100%-35.5% = (100-35.5)% = 64.5%

64.5%

If X is your portion and Y is the total amount:

X x 100/ 35.5 = Y

Your husband's portion is Y-X

(Why do I feel a little guilty about helping you? Hope you're not trying to screw him.)

First you are getting 35.5% of the amount based on your ex's work record that you are qualified to recieve. Since you chose early 62 verses a full age of about 66 you "qualified to recieve 35% of the amout based on his work record. It is not drawing 35% of his social security. Bear in mind it has nothing to do with what he draws, will draw. So say he goes to full retirement he will get 100% of what he is qualified to recieve.

But why are you concerned about what he draws?
