How Much You Could Receive from CPP

Your CPP monthly payment depends on three main factors:

• Contribution history – Higher contributions throughout your working life result in higher benefits.
• Age at which you start – Starting earlier than 65 reduces your monthly amount, while delaying increases it.

As of January 2025, the maximum monthly amounts under CPP (including enhancements) are:

• Retirement Pension: Up to $1,433

• Payments are issued on the third-to-last business day of each month.
• For September 2025, that date is September 25.
• If the scheduled date falls on a weekend or statutory holiday, payments are made on the preceding business day.

This predictable schedule helps retirees manage bills, rent, and other monthly expenses.

Important Additional Information

• Post-Retirement Benefit (PRB): If you continue to work while receiving CPP, you may still contribute and increase your monthly pension through the PRB.
