Plain-language context

What this reference means

CPP and QPP retirement pensions depend on pensionable earnings, contribution history, and the age at which the pension starts.

The CPP source gives maximum and average age-65 anchors. The QPP source provides a useful age-by-age table showing how early or delayed start ages change average and maximum pension amounts.
