My Account offers tools for understanding your pension

Throughout your career, My Account will be your portal for accessing helpful retirement planning tools. These include:

  • Your Member’s Benefit Statement, a yearly snapshot of your important pension information
  • The personalized pension estimator, a calculator that lets you find out what your pension could look like at different retirement ages
  • A summary of your service and salary history
  • The purchase cost estimator, which can help you find out the cost and advantages of buying service for time you took off work

Note that when you first start out, not all the features of My Account will be available. That’s because we need to receive information about your service and salary from your employer before tools like the personalized pension estimator or purchase cost estimator can give you accurate predictions. We usually get this information within your first year with your employer.


Pensions: one piece of the retirement puzzle

Your College Pension Plan pension is an important part of your overall retirement picture. However, other sources of income like personal savings and government benefits will also affect your financial health in retirement.

Start thinking about these other income sources now to set yourself up for a secure financial future.


Take charge of your finances

If thinking about money leaves you feeling overwhelmed, you’re not alone. Many Canadians feel uncertain about managing their finances. Thankfully, there are resources available to help you strengthen your knowledge and feel confident about your future.

You don’t have to tackle your finances alone. An independent financial planner can guide you through the opportunities and challenges unique to your situation.


Pension pro tip

When it comes to picking a financial advisor or financial planner, choose carefully. Not everyone who advertises themselves as a financial advisor has the same education or expertise. Pay special attention to how your advisor is paid. Advisors working on commission may feel pressure to sell you investments that earn them a higher commission even if that investment isn’t right for your needs.
