What is the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) deduction?

CPP contributions for 2025 are 5.95% of pensionable earnings between $3,500 and $68,500 (maximum $3,867.50). Your employer matches this. Self-employed pay both portions (11.9%).

What is EI and how much is deducted?

Employment Insurance (EI) premiums are 1.66% of insurable earnings up to $63,200 for 2025 (maximum $1,049.12). Your employer pays 1.4x this amount. EI provides temporary income support for those who lose their jobs through no fault of their own, plus special benefits for sickness, maternity, parental, and caregiving leave.

What is the difference between gross pay and net pay in Canada?

Gross pay is your total earnings before deductions. Net pay (take-home pay) is what remains after deducting federal and provincial Income Tax, CPP contributions, EI premiums, and any other deductions like pension plan contributions, union dues, or group insurance premiums.

What is the minimum wage in Canada?

Minimum wage in Canada varies by province: Ontario $16.55/hr, British Columbia $17.40/hr, Alberta $15.00/hr, Quebec $15.75/hr. Each province sets its own rate and reviews it annually. The federal minimum wage ($17.30/hr) applies to federally regulated industries like banking and interprovincial transport.

What is the TFSA contribution room?

The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) annual contribution limit for 2025 is $7,000. Unused room carries forward indefinitely. The total cumulative contribution room for someone who was 18+ in 2009 and never contributed is approximately $95,000. Withdrawals can be recontributed the following calendar year.

How are bonuses taxed in Canada?

Bonuses in Canada are taxed as ordinary income at your marginal federal and provincial tax rate. Employers may use the bonus method (withholding at your marginal rate) or the aggregate method (treating it as income for that pay period). Both methods account for CPP and EI on the bonus amount.
