Estimate your monthly disability benefit using the SSA's real 2026 formula, check whether your current work is under the SGA limit, and project your back pay. Built for Nevada claimants — no signup required.
Estimate only, using the SSA's 2026 formula: 90% of the first $1,286 of average indexed monthly earnings, 32% up to $7,749, 15% above — with disability dropout-year rules approximated from your age. Your official figure is on your Social Security Statement at ssa.gov/myaccount. The 2026 maximum is $4,152/month; the average is $1,634.70.
2026 SGA limits: $1,690/month (non-blind), $2,830/month (blind). Earnings above the limit generally end an SSDI claim at step one regardless of your medical condition. Impairment-related work expenses and subsidized work can change the countable amount — a gray area where attorneys earn their fee.
Assumes your established onset date matches when you stopped working, subtracts the mandatory 5-month waiting period, and caps pre-application retroactive benefits at 12 months per SSA rules. The onset date is one of the most-contested items in a claim — moving it moves this number by thousands.
Nevada denies most first applications. A free case review tells you whether your claim — and this back pay — is winnable, and what it will take. No fee unless you win.
