Pension Portal: Public Service Pension Plan
The pension portal is only available for active federal employee with access to the Compensation and pension portal on the Government of Canada network.
It is essential that government of Canada employees have a myKEY or a department-issued smart card/token in order to gain access to the Compensation and pension portal applications. Compensation and pension portal users are required to enter their Personal Record Identifier (PRI) to sign in to the applications (first-time users are required to confirm their date of birth).

Early Retirement Incentive calculation instructions
Budget 2025 proposes amendments to the Public Service Superannuation Act and the Income Tax Regulations. This is to introduce a temporary, voluntary Early Retirement Incentive Program through the federal public service pension plan. While the program is not yet available, you can use the Pension estimator in the Pension Portal to review your current pension estimates and explore potential scenarios.
The Pension Portal “Pension estimate calculation instructions” allow you to calculate your pension estimates, without a reduction, due to the Early Retirement Incentive program.
Pension estimate calculation
The Pension Portal is intended solely to provide estimated pension amounts. It cannot be used to determine eligibility for any pension reduction waivers based on the Early Retirement Incentive program.
Pension estimate calculation instructions
- From the menu at the top of the page, select the “Pension estimator” tab
- Select the “+ Add a pension estimate” button
- Following “When would you like to retire?”, select the circle for the option “Date of departure from the government”
- Enter the desired Date of departure by either manually typing in the box or using the calendar icon
- Select the “Estimate” button
- The 2 graph options with stars will be the newest pension estimates created, based on the information you entered (the Deferred pension is the one you’ll want to consider)
Note: If you return to the pension estimator, the stars may disappear beside the newest options.

- To check your estimated Net pension amount, select the “Manage deductions” button, preceding the graph, and enter any anticipated deductions from your pension
