How to check your own CPP payment, the 2026 payment dates, and the factors that determine the amount you receive.
My Service Canada Account
The official way to see your actual CPP payments is My Service Canada Account. You do not need a third-party calculator, and no legitimate process asks for your SIN or bank login to "release" the adjustment.
Payment dates
CPP is paid monthly on a set schedule, usually in the last week of the month. Comparing a late-2025 payment with an early-2026 one is one way to see what the January adjustment changed.
Your amount
Your CPP depends on your contribution history, your earnings and the age you start. That is why two people see different amounts even though the same annual adjustment rate applies to benefits already in payment.
