Cpp Calculator Ontario 2015

The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is a social insurance program that provides retirement income to eligible Canadians. In Ontario, CPP contributions are calculated based on your earnings and the applicable contribution rates for 2015.

How CPP Works in Ontario

CPP is a mandatory program where employees and employers contribute to a shared pension fund. The contributions are based on your earnings, and the amount you receive in retirement depends on your contribution history and the CPP benefit rate.

In 2015, the CPP contribution rate was 5.95% for both employees and employers. This means that for every dollar you earned, both you and your employer contributed 5.95 cents to the CPP.

Key Formula

CPP Contribution = Annual Earnings × CPP Contribution Rate (5.95%)

The maximum annual earnings subject to CPP contributions in 2015 were $55,900. If your earnings exceeded this amount, only the first $55,900 were subject to CPP contributions.
