The projected 2027 Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) is around 3.6%, translating to an estimated $60 to $75 monthly increase for the average retiree. However, this raise is partly offset by rising Medicare Part B premiums, which have historically increased by about $17.90 annually, and income-related Medicare surcharges affecting higher earners. Additionally, more Social Security benefits may become taxable due to fixed income thresholds that are not inflation-adjusted. The official COLA will be announced in mid-October, followed by Medicare premium updates in November, with the final net benefit increase likely smaller than the headline number suggests.
