Assume that one spouse has a part-time job that pays $24,500 a year, and that this person also receives another $39,500 a year from a company pension. Assume, that the earnings limit was $15,720 per year.
Also assume for Social Security benefits the recipients are aged below 67 and will lose $1 in benefits for every $2 they earn above the earnings test amount.
Also assume that they would have to pay taxes of 50% on a combined income between $32,000 and $44,000, of their Social Security benefits.
