Estimate Request for Canada Pension Plan
Retirement Pension and Post-Retirement Benefit
You may also visit the Service Canada website at
servicecanada.gc.ca/calculator to use
the online retirement calculator to estimate
your Canada Pension Plan retirement pension
and post-retirement benefits.
This request form is to obtain an estimate of your Canada Pension Plan (CPP)
retirement pension or of your Post-Retirement Benefit, or both. The following information
is intended to help you complete sections 5 and 8.
Section 5
When you request an estimate of your Canada Pension Plan retirement pension,
we automatically calculate the amount you will receive at age 65 when you become
entitled to your full pension. However, you can receive a reduced pension as early as
age 60 or begin receiving an increased pension after age 65 up to age 70. You can
choose any three retirement ages between 40 and 70 for which you would like
estimates.
NOTE:
Your retirement pension is reduced by a set percentage for each month before age 65
that you choose to begin receiving it. This reduction is permanent. From 2012 to 2016,
the amount of this reduction will gradually increase from 0.52% to 0.6% per month. This
means that if you start receiving your retirement pension in 2016 at age 60, it will be 36%
less than if you had taken it at 65. The reduction percentage in effect the year your
retirement pension begins remains in effect for as long as you receive the benefit, and
will not change.

We increase retirement pensions paid to people who begin receiving the pension when
they are over age 65 by 0.70% for each month the person is over 65 years of age up to
age 70. This means that if you start receiving your CPP retirement pension in 2013 at
age 70, it will be 42% more than if you had taken it at 65.
CPP benefits are adjusted in January each year if there is an increase in the cost of
living as measured by the Consumer Price Index. Your monthly payment will not
decrease if the cost of living goes down.

Section 8
You may be eligible for a Post-Retirement Benefit if you are 60 to 70 years
of age and you are working or return to work in Canada (outside Quebec) while receiving
a retirement pension from the Canada Pension Plan or Quebec Pension Plan.
The Post-Retirement Benefit will allow you to increase your retirement income even if
you are already receiving the maximum Canada Pension Plan pension amount. It is a
secure monthly benefit that will rise with increases in the cost of living and be payable for
the rest of your life.
You do not need to apply for the Post-Retirement Benefit. If you are eligible, it will be
paid to you automatically.
For each year that you make a valid contribution to the Canada Pension Plan while
receiving your retirement pension, you become eligible for a new Post-Retirement
Benefit the following January. Like the Canada Pension Plan retirement pension, the
amount of each Post-Retirement Benefit will depend on your level of earnings, the
amount of Canada Pension Plan contributions you made during the previous year,
and your age as of the effective date of the Post-Retirement Benefit.
Each new Post-Retirement Benefit will be added to any previously earned
Post-Retirement Benefits and to any other Canada Pension Plan benefits to which
you are entitled.
Contributions to the Post-Retirement Benefit are mandatory for working CPP retirement
pension recipients under age 65 and their employers. If you are self-employed, you will
have to contribute both the employee and employer portions.
If you work in the same year that your retirement pension begins, we will determine
which portion of that year’s contributions will go toward the retirement pension and which
portion, if any, will go toward the Post-Retirement Benefit.
If you are at least 65 years of age, you can choose not to contribute. At age 70, you will
stop making CPP contributions. To find out more about how to stop contributing to the
CPP, visit the Canada Revenue Agency Web site at www.cra.gc.ca/cpp or call
1-800-959-8281.
