What CPP does
CPP provides retirement income based on your contribution history. It is usually one piece of the larger retirement picture rather than the whole plan.

CPP Basics
CPP is one part of retirement income, and timing changes the monthly amount. That is why CPP decisions work best when viewed alongside the rest of your retirement plan.
Why timing matters
Starting earlier generally means smaller payments. Waiting longer can mean larger ones. The best choice depends on your broader situation.
What to compare
Think about other income sources, when you want to retire, and whether delaying CPP changes how much you need from savings first.
Use a calculator for clarity
A CPP calculator helps you compare scenarios more clearly before you plug the result into a full retirement plan.
