Questions
What are the maximum CPP and EI contributions in Canada?
The maximum employee base CPP contribution is $3,867.50, plus up to $188 in CPP2. The maximum EI employee premium is $1,049.12.
Why do Canadian paycheques get larger late in the year?
Once your cumulative earnings reach the annual CPP and EI ceilings, your employer stops deducting statutory contributions, increasing your take-home pay for the rest of the year.
