More earnings = lower Social Security benefits?

Is it true that the more money you earn during your working years, the lower your Social Security benefits will be in retirement? Presumably this is because you are thought to be “better off”.

Also, can someone explain to me just how Social Security benefits are calculated? This has always seemed confusing to me.
