Having lived 10 years after past 62, I am probably making up the amount I gave up by not working until I was 66 to get the full amount. I think there are calculators online on the SS site. I didn't use one because I needed the money. Period.
The jeans I have on today are at least 20 years old and were on sale when my daughter bought them for me.
Yes, I did not start SS at 62, but in 63 yr. I finally learned that you would have to be 82 to make up what you would have drawn by starting at 62. If you don't need it, invest it & it will grow in your bank. I am now 69 & have a great emergency fund.
