About the CPP Pension Calculator
The maximum CPP retirement pension starting at 65 in 2026 is $1,507.65 a month; most people get less because it depends on how long and how much they contributed. Taking it before 65 reduces it by 0.6% for each month (36% at 60); delaying increases it by 0.7% per month (42% at 70). Payments are indexed to inflation each January.
The formula
Pension = age-65 amount × (1 − 0.6% × months early) or × (1 + 0.7% × months late)
Worked example
Example: Monthly CPP pension = $995.05
- Inputs: Your expected pension at 65 as a share of the maximum: 66%; Age you start: 65.
- Formula: Pension = age-65 amount × (1 − 0.6% × months early) or × (1 + 0.7% × months late)
- Result: Monthly CPP pension = $995.05
