CPP Calculator Canada 2026

It depends on your average pensionable earnings relative to the YMPE and how many of the 39 maximum contributory years you have. The maximum CPP retirement pension at 65 in 2026 is about $1,508/month, but most Canadians receive less because of incomplete contribution years or earnings below the YMPE.

Taking CPP at 60 reduces your pension by 0.6% per month early — up to 36% less. Taking CPP at 70 increases it by 0.7% per month late — up to 42% more. The best age depends on your health, other income, and how long you expect to live.

This calculator uses a simplified proportional formula based on your average earnings and contribution years — it does not replicate Service Canada's actual contributory-earnings-history calculation, which includes the general drop-out provision for low-earning years.
