Find the answers to several Frequently Asked Questions related to ISP online services.
What do I need to begin?
It will take you approximately 30 minutes to use the calculator. To get the most out of your session, please make sure that you have the following:
- CPP Statement of Contributions or QPP Statement of Participation;
- financial information about your employer pension (if applicable);
- recent RRSP statement(s) (if applicable);
- statements for other savings that will provide ongoing monthly retirement income (annuities, foreign pensions; survivor pensions, etc.); and
- access to a computer that meets our minimum computer requirements.
If you are married or living in a common-law relationship, you must each use the calculator separately and compare your results to understand your overall situation. It is also important for couples to know how a partner's death or the end of the relationship could affect their financial situation. Estate planning should be an important part of your plan.
