CPP/EI Rate change

Employee Employment Insurance (EI) contribution rates will be increased to 1.66% in 2024 from 1.63% in 2023. The maximum contribution in 2024 is $ $1,049.12.

Canada Pension Plan (CPP) contribution rates will remain at 5.95% in 2024. The maximum contribution in 2024 is $3,867.50. See the next section for details about the CPP enhancement, which will affect employees whose earnings are higher than the year’s maximum pensionable earnings (YMPE).

Please note, CPP/EI deductions stop whenever an individual reaches the maximum contribution for any given year. Employees who reached the maximum contribution to their CPP/EI during the 2023 tax year will notice a difference in their net pay between December 2023 and January 2024, when CPP/EI deductions restart.

CPP Enhancement

CPP enhancements announced by the Government of Canada in 2019 will reach a second phase in 2024, when a second earnings ceiling will be introduced.

Employees whose earnings are higher than the YMPE will be subject to additional deductions at 4% for the earnings between the YMPE and the second earnings ceiling, the year’s additional maximum pensionable earnings (YAMPE).

The YMPE for 2024 is $68,500 and the YAMPE for 2024 is $73,200. The maximum contribution in 2024 for this new bracket is $188. Employer’s contributions will also reflect the CPP enhancement.

The new bracket for CPP enhancement contribution will be in effect starting Jan. 1, 2024.
