SS payments are based off of what you put into the system. So someone can get $50 a month, and someone else can get $600 a month.
There are online calculators for you to try to figure out estimates.

You might be eligible for half of your spouses social security if you can’t get your own as you need to work for 10 years to be eligible for your own.

You can log in to the SS website and see how much more you have to work to be eligible for social security.
