Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec Pension Plan (QPP): Type of benefit
| New benefits Maximum amount 2021 | ||
|---|---|---|
| CPP 1 | QPP 1 | |
| Retirement (at age 65) | $1,203.75 | $1,203.75 |
| Post–Retirement Benefit (CPP) (at age 65) 2 | $30.09 | not applicable |

Similarly one may ask, should I take my Quebec pension at 60?
The Quebec government penalizes you for taking QPP early, to the tune of 0.6% for every month you take it ahead of your 65th birthday. So, if you take QPP at age 60, you’ll get 36% less than what you would otherwise have received if you waited until age 65.
Besides, can I collect both CPP and QPP? Yes. Spouses or common-law partners who are together, who are both at least 60 years old, and who are both receiving the CPP/QPP retirement pension can share their CPP/QPP retirement benefits. This is called pension sharing, and may result in tax savings.
