Retirement planning

Part of Financial Planning

Build retirement estimates from public pensions, workplace plans and personal savings, not one account balance. Gather pension statements, savings records and Canadian residence history before using the Canadian Retirement Income Calculator. Couples should calculate separately, then review the household picture together.

Costs to compare

Allow for taxes, investment costs and professional planning fees outside the estimate. Check whether the assumptions include inflation and changing expenses.

Risks and restrictions

Results are estimates rather than a personal financial plan. Pension amounts and future returns should not be assumed without evidence.

Common questions

Should couples use one combined calculation?

The government advises spouses and common-law partners to complete the calculator separately and review both results.
