OAS Deferral Calculator

This OAS deferral calculator shows how starting Old Age Security at different ages affects your long-term benefits. It incorporates inflation indexing, the 10% increase at age 75, residency adjustments, clawback treatment, and optional investment growth to give a clearer picture of the trade-offs.

Compare annual and cumulative OAS payments, view the breakeven age between start dates, and better understand how the timing of your OAS decision can influence retirement income planning.

OAS Deferral Breakeven Calculator

The breakeven chart shows the value of your OAS strategy over time, indexed to inflation and including the 10% increase in OAS at age 75. When investing is selected, the breakeven age reflects the invested value of OAS payments after applying the rate of return. The annual payments chart shows the net OAS you receive each year under each option - taking into account clawbacks if selected.
