What is the CPP/QPP Contribution Calculator?
The Canada Pension Plan (CPP) is a mandatory contributory pension program for employees and employers across Canada (except Quebec, which has the QPP). In 2025, employees contribute 5.95% of pensionable earnings between the basic exemption ($3,500) and the Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YMPE, $71,300). Employers match this contribution dollar-for-dollar. Self-employed Canadians pay both shares.
Formula
Pensionable Earnings = min(Income, YMPE) − $3,500. Employee CPP = Pensionable Earnings × 5.95%.- I
- = Annual employment income
- YMPE
- = Year's Maximum Pensionable Earnings ($71,300 in 2025)
