Pension increases for retired members and their survivors are calculated annually using Consumer Price Index data from Statistics Canada.
At the end of each year, the Treasury Board Secretariat provides the National Association of Federal Retirees with the pension indexation increase that takes effect Jan. 1 for federal public sector pensions.
The pension indexation rate effective Jan. 1, 2026, is 2 per cent. Federal Retirees played a key role in establishing pension indexation in 1970.
You can find more information about how the indexation rate is calculated on the Government of Canada website.
To find out when to expect your pension payments, review the public service pension calendar. If you have questions or notice a payment is late according to the calendar, you can contact the Pension Centre using your preferred method of communication.
