Annual Contribution to CPP is Raised to $185 a Month
The CRA has increased the maximum pensionable earnings to $48,300. There is a CPP exemption on earnings up to $3,500. You do not pay any CPP if your annual earning is $3,500. The current CPP rate is 4.95% for both the employer and employee.
Since the CPP premium rate is unchanged, and the pensionable earnings went up, net CPP is up for both employees and employer. Maximum CPP premium will be $2,217.60 for employees and $4,435.20 for the self employed annually.
From Jan 1, 2011 EI premium is going up also.
So, expect to see a smaller pay cheque if your earnings remains the same in 2011.
