63, still working full-time, making $46,797/year.  SSA shows my payment would be $1574 (before they tax because of my work income). I'm just wanting to know what my *actual* payment would be after they tax the $1574 if anyone could explain it to me.  No other income is being touched until I retire.

Your actual payment will still be $1574.  You can file a form to withhold taxes from your social security benefits--same idea as what’s done with wages.  But it’s voluntary--you have to opt in and say what percentage you want withheld.

Once you turn 65, your actual payment WILL be lower because your Medicare Part B premium will be taken out of it.
