Pension and insurance contributions
CPP uses a CAD 3,500 annual exemption, 4.95% base and 1% first additional contributions up to CAD 74,600. The second additional contribution is 4% between that amount and CAD 85,000. Enhanced contributions reduce taxable income; base contributions qualify for the standard federal and provincial credits.
EI is 1.63% up to earnings of CAD 68,900 outside Québec. Québec instead uses 5.3% base QPP plus 1% first additional QPP, 1.3% EI and 0.43% QPIP up to CAD 103,000. Québec’s worker deduction is 6% of salary, capped at CAD 1,450. Québec’s basic amount already incorporates the base contribution credit, and the federal tax has a 16.5% Québec abatement.
Ontario includes both surtaxes, the basic tax reduction, LIFT for the supported single profile, and the health premium. Manitoba includes its income-tested basic family tax benefit. Québec’s living-alone credit applies only if you maintain and ordinarily occupy a dwelling alone throughout the year; choose it only when you qualify. Québec assumes private prescription-drug coverage all year. Refundable credits, contribution refunds at very low income, CWB, benefits and northern-resident deductions are excluded, so this is pay before those later adjustments.
