No more than $1310 per month is the answer I came up with on multiple sites.

I assume you are talking about SSDI, right?

This is from the 2021 guide.

Trial Work Period — The trial work
period allows you to test your ability to
work for at least nine months. During
your trial work period, you’ll receive your
full Social Security benefits, regardless
of how much you’re earning — as
long as you report your work, and you
continue to have a disability. In 2021, a
trial work month is any month your total
earnings are over $940. If you’re selfemployed, you have a trial work month
when you earn more than $940 (after
business expenses) or work more than
80 hours in your own business. The trial
work period continues until you have
used nine cumulative trial work months
within a 60-month period.
Extended Period of Eligibility —
After your trial work period, you have
36 months during which you can work
and still receive benefits for any month
your earnings aren’t “substantial.” In
2021, we consider earnings over $1,310
($2,190 if you’re blind) to be substantial.
No new application or disability decision
is needed to receive a Social Security
disability benefit during this period.
