Which is better - Canadian Pension Plan (CPP) VS Central Provident Fund (CPF)?
https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/cpp-explainer-1.5133984
Contribution Rates
CPP: 5 percent of income (max $57,400), employer matches that contribution
CPF: 20 pct , 17 pct from employer (wage cap at $72,000, bonsu cap is $102,000)
Benefits
CPP : From age of 65 till you die: $13,610 per annum (currently), to go up to $20k (2023) ; fully indexed to inflation
To get full benefits, must contribute at max rate for 39 years ; parents can enjoy another 7 years exemption.
CPF : Starting collecting from age 65 till death
Retirement sum $88k (calculated at age 55), receive $730 per month ($8760 per annum);
Retirement sum $176k, receive $1450 per month ($17400 per annum)
Retirement sum $264k, receive $2,110 per month ($25,300 per annum)
I think our CPF is much better! Vote PAP for your financial well-being.
