Here's What the Average and Maximum 2027 Social Security COLA Increase Could Look Like, According to Recent Estimates

Overview
Nearly a month into the third quarter of 2026, the 2027 Social Security cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) projections are beginning to come into focus. We're still missing several key numbers needed for the official calculation, but we have a rough idea of where things could end up.
