Starting CPP and OAS earlier or later changes the plan, not just the pension cheque.

CPP at 60 vs 65 vs 70

Sample plan. Cumulative benefits for claiming at 60, at 65, and delaying to 70, the current plan.
The lines are claiming at 60, at 65, and delaying to 70, which is the current plan.

CPP, or QPP in Quebec, and OAS pay more each month if you start them later, and they pay nothing in the years you wait. Benefits puts that choice inside the rest of the plan.

A larger pension can raise tax and change how much your savings have to cover. You can compare starting at 60, at 65, and at 70 with the ages already in your plan.
