Canada Cpp Ei Rates 2025 Ontario Payroll Calculator

Calculate Canada's Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI) rates for 2025 in Ontario with our payroll calculator. This tool helps employers determine the correct deductions and contributions for their employees' payroll in Ontario.

Introduction

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI) are mandatory contributions that employers must deduct from their employees' wages and remit to the government. These contributions fund social programs and provide benefits to eligible Canadians.

For 2025, the CPP and EI rates in Ontario have been updated. Our calculator helps you determine the correct amounts to deduct from your employees' paychecks and the corresponding employer contributions.

How the Calculator Works

The calculator uses the following formula to determine the CPP and EI deductions:

CPP Deduction = Employee Earnings × CPP Rate
EI Deduction = Employee Earnings × EI Rate

Where:

Employee Earnings - The gross wages paid to the employee
CPP Rate - The current CPP contribution rate (5.95% for 2025)
EI Rate - The current EI contribution rate (1.66% for 2025)

The calculator then calculates the total deductions and shows the breakdown of employer and employee contributions.

Canada CPP and EI Rates for 2025

For 2025, the CPP and EI rates in Ontario are as follows:

Calculator Example

Let's say an employee in Ontario earns $4,000 per month. Here's how the calculator would determine the CPP and EI deductions:

CPP Deduction = $4,000 × 5.95% = $238.00
EI Deduction = $4,000 × 1.66% = $66.40

The total deductions would be $304.40, with $238.00 going to CPP and $66.40 going to EI.
