Calculator for OAS/GIS

The goal of this website is to bring transparency and simplicity into obtaining the OAS and GIS amounts for Canadian Pensioners.

Partial OAS receipients may find slight discrepancies over the total receivable GIS.

This website is not sponsored by the Canadian government. The calculations here serve as reference only, with data taken from the official Government of Canada websites. Reference links can be found on this site for further context.

How does it work?

1. Crawl through Gov. webpages to agregate table data
2. Implement receivable GIS lookup logic for each case scenario

Deployment

yarn deploy aided by gh-pages package - needs special permissions

OAS clawback

For the OAS clawback, the OAS doesn’t disappear magically at $128,150 as your calculator shows it. It disappears at a rate of 15% of income above $79,054, such that if someone only has 10/40ths OAS it is actually fully gone at around $91,336 rather than >$128,149
