OAS Clawback Calculator

If you earn a higher income, discover how much your Canadian Old Age Security benefits may be reduced with this OAS Clawback Calculator.

Canadian citizens aged 65 and older, who have resided in Canada, may be eligible for Old Age Security (OAS), a key retirement benefit provided by the Canadian government. OAS is designed to supplement income during retirement years, offering financial support to seniors. The amount individuals receive from OAS is determined based on their net income. For those with higher incomes, an OAS calculator helps determine the annual clawback amount, which reduces the pension received.

Old Age Security is reduced for people with high income through a clawback/recovery provision.

Understanding the implications of the OAS clawback is crucial for retirement planning among Canadian seniors. By using an OAS calculator, individuals can estimate how their net income affects their OAS entitlement. This allows retirees to make informed financial decisions and potentially optimize their income streams during retirement.

How the OAS Clawback works

The clawback mechanism begins when a senior’s net income surpasses $90,997 annually. For every dollar of net income above this threshold, the maximum OAS pension is reduced by fifteen cents. This means that as income increases beyond the specified limit, the amount of OAS pension received decreases proportionally. This ensures that OAS benefits are targeted towards individuals with lower incomes who may need them the most, while higher-income retirees receive reduced or no OAS support depending on their income levels.

The OAS Clawback calculator allows clients plan ahead to help retirees navigate the complexities of pension income and ensures they can maximize their overall financial well-being in retirement.
