How Much Will I Get From CPP And OAS(Old Age Security)

The maximum pensionable earnings under CPP increased to $68,500 in 2024. Unfortunately, your CPP and OAS payments for 2023 are already set and cannot be changed retroactively.

However, we can still assess your 2023 CPP and OAS benefits:

Calculate your maximum CPP benefit for 2023:

Use the 2023 maximum pensionable earnings of $66,600.
Multiply this amount by the CPP replacement rate of 75%.
This gives you a maximum 2023 CPP benefit of $50,000.

Determine your guaranteed minimum income for OAS in 2023:

This amount was $707.68 per month for those aged 65 to 74 in 2023.

Consider potential reductions:

Your actual CPP and OAS payments might be less than the maximums depending on:

Your individual contribution history to CPP.
Your income in 2023 (potential OAS clawback).
