Seniors 65 to 74 years old are eligible for a maximum monthly payment of $685.50, while seniors 75 and older are eligible for a maximum monthly payment of $754.05.

How much OAS payment do you get?

Income from OAS is taxed. The maximum OAS payment dates 2023 from June 2023 onward are $691 per month for beneficiaries 65 to 74 years old ($8,292 per year), and $760.10 per month for beneficiaries 75 and older ($9,121.20 per year).
