Estimate your Canada Pension Plan retirement pension starting at any age from 60 to 70.

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

  1. Inputs: Your expected pension at 65 as a share of the maximum: 66%; Age you start: 65.
  2. Formula: Pension = age-65 amount × (1 − 0.6% × months early) or × (1 + 0.7% × months late)
  3. Result: Monthly CPP pension = $995.05
