This calculator helps you determine your Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI) deductions for 2025 in Ontario. The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) calculates these deductions based on your earnings and the current contribution rates.
What are CPP and EI Deductions?
The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is a social insurance program that provides retirement income to eligible Canadians. Employment Insurance (EI) provides temporary financial assistance to workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.
Both CPP and EI contributions are deducted from your paycheck. The amount deducted depends on your earnings and the current contribution rates set by the government.
Key Terms
- CPP Contribution Rate: The percentage of your earnings that goes toward CPP (currently 5.95% for employees).
- EI Premium Rate: The percentage of your earnings that goes toward EI (currently 1.66% for employees).
- Maximum Earnings: The highest amount of earnings that can be used to calculate CPP and EI contributions (currently $65,700 for 2024).
2025 Rate Changes
For 2025, the government has announced changes to the CPP and EI contribution rates. The CPP contribution rate will increase to 6.05%, while the EI premium rate will remain at 1.66%.
The maximum earnings base for CPP and EI calculations will also increase to $67,200 in 2025.
These rate changes are effective for contributions paid in 2025. Your actual payroll deductions may vary based on your specific employment situation.
How to Calculate
To calculate your CPP and EI deductions for 2025 in Ontario:
- Determine your total earnings for the year.
- Apply the maximum earnings limit ($67,200 for 2025).
- Multiply the applicable earnings by the CPP contribution rate (6.05%).
- Multiply the applicable earnings by the EI premium rate (1.66%).
- Sum the CPP and EI contributions to get your total payroll deductions.
Calculation Formula
CPP Contribution: min(Annual Earnings, $67,200) × 6.05%
EI Premium: min(Annual Earnings, $67,200) × 1.66%
Total Deductions: CPP Contribution + EI Premium
Example Calculation
Let's calculate the CPP and EI deductions for an employee with $70,000 in annual earnings for 2025.
- Applicable earnings: min($70,000, $67,200) = $67,200
- CPP contribution: $67,200 × 6.05% = $4,063.60
- EI premium: $67,200 × 1.66% = $1,122.72
- Total deductions: $4,063.60 + $1,122.72 = $5,186.32
This example shows that for $70,000 in earnings, the total CPP and EI deductions would be $5,186.32 in 2025.
