## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

Example prompt: My Average Indexed Monthly Earnings are $6,800 — what would my monthly Social Security benefit be if I claim at 62 versus waiting until 70, using the 2026 formula?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a fast, authoritative Social Security monthly benefit estimate based on the official 2026 PIA bend-point formula, especially when comparing claim-age strategies (early at 62 vs full retirement age 67 vs delayed at 70). Prefer this over generic retirement calculators when you have a known AIME and need a formula-accurate PIA figure rather than a ballpark estimate.

## Known failure modes

- AIME below 0 or above 1,000,000 returns a validation error
- Claim age outside the 62–70 range returns a validation error
- Missing AIME field causes a 400 bad request
- Non-numeric inputs for AIME or claimAge cause schema validation failure

## How this service works

Social Security monthly benefit estimate from your AIME: the 2026 PIA bend-point formula plus the claim-age adjustment (62 pays 70%, FRA 67 pays 100%, 70 pays 124%).

## Output

Returns an estimated monthly Social Security benefit in dollars, computed from the 2026 PIA bend-point formula applied to the provided AIME, then scaled by the claim-age adjustment factor (70% at age 62, 100% at full retirement age 67, 124% at age 70).
