Frequently asked questions

What is deducted from my paycheque in Canada?

Your Canadian paycheque has four mandatory deductions: federal income tax, provincial income tax, Canada Pension Plan (CPP) at 5.95%, and Employment Insurance (EI) at 1.63%. Optional deductions like RRSP contributions further reduce taxable income.

How much CPP and EI do I pay in 2026?

For 2026, CPP is 5.95% on earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 (YMPE), plus CPP2 at 4% on earnings between $74,600 and $85,000 (YAMPE). EI is 1.63% on insurable earnings up to $68,900. Quebec residents pay 1.30% EI due to QPIP.

How do RRSP contributions affect my take-home pay?

RRSP contributions reduce your taxable income dollar-for-dollar, which lowers both federal and provincial income tax. The net cost of an RRSP contribution is therefore the contribution minus the marginal-rate refund — for someone in a 30% marginal bracket, $1,000 contributed costs only $700 of take-home.
