Since 2011, Financial Literacy Month has helped Canadians build knowledge and skills to improve their financial well-being. This month, we are sharing easy-to-understand highlights of the Teachers’ Pension Plan (Plan) so you can feel confident about your financial future.
Plan Highlights:
- Guaranteed Lifetime Income
As a member of a defined benefit pension plan, you will receive a predictable, monthly pension for life when you retire, calculated using a formula based on your years of pensionable service and your average earnings over your eight highest-paid years. - Retirement Security
The Plan takes a long-term approach to investing, helping to manage the impact of short-term market fluctuations. You can feel confident that your pension is professionally managed by experts who help keep the Plan financially strong for the future. - Survivor Benefit
Your pension can provide ongoing financial support to eligible loved ones after you pass away. - Disability Benefit
Your Plan offers financial protection in the event you become disabled before retirement and are unable to continue working. - Shared Contributions
Your employer matches your contribution of 11.35% to help fund your future pension.
The more you know about your pension, the better prepared you can be for retirement. If you have questions about your pension, please contact us.
