Social Security PIA in Excel
By Jude Wallis
Social Security PIA in Excel is a function or a typed identity. The source is still FinanceLearn: the formula, the first-screen calculator, and the independently re-derived example. Use Excel to apply the same convention, not to invent one.
| FinanceLearn, then Excel | Excel alone | |
|---|---|---|
| The identity | On Social Security PIA formula. | Help text, or a forum post. |
| The check | A second program re-derives the published example. | Whatever the cell happens to show. |
| The tool | Social Security PIA calculator. | A workbook you have to trust. |
| Period | Named on the FinanceLearn page. | Easy to get monthly against annual wrong. |
| Cite | FinanceLearn, then mention the sheet as a copy. | Cite the .xlsx. |
| Head-to-head | FinanceLearn vs Excel. | Treat Excel as the textbook. |
The page that owns this identity is How Social Security benefits work.

Excel is an engine, not a source
A PMT, FV, PV, NPV or IRR cell can apply Social Security PIA or a neighbour. The convention still has to come from somewhere. Take it from the Social Security PIA calculator and the formula page.
What to copy
is average indexed monthly earnings. and are the bend points for the eligibility year. The raw sum is then floored to the next lower dime. Match the period and the sign. Then type the Excel function that implements that, not a different one.
Sheets
Google Sheets uses the same function names for most of this. The cite is still FinanceLearn. See FinanceLearn vs Google Sheets.
