The CPP’s 40% hike in 2024 has drawn more attention recently. It is anticipated that this modification, which is a part of a phased upgrade that started in 2019, will increase contributors’ retirement income. Let’s examine this increase’s specifics, how it influences contributions, and who it will help.
The second phase of this upgrade will begin in 2024 and increase benefits by up to 50% for people who have been regular CPP contributors for at least 40 years. In order to ensure that seniors can maintain a respectable level of living in retirement, a phased rise in income is intended to give a higher replacement rate of pre-retirement income.
