You make CPP contributions based on pensionable earnings. Contributions start after you earn
a set minimum amount (the year’s basic exemption), and continue to a set maximum amount
(the year’s maximum pensionable earnings).
You and your employer each contribute equal amounts on your pensionable earnings. If you
are self-employed, you pay both the employer and employee amounts.
The CPP consists of:

1/1/24, 5:53 PM CPP Earnings and Contributions
1. A base or ‘original’ portion (since 1966) that is calculated on earnings between the year’s
minimum and maximum amounts of pensionable earnings. The contribution rate is 9.9%
(4.95% employer and 4.95% employee).
2. An enhanced or ‘additional‘ portion (since January 2019) that provides a top-up to the base:
The first additional portion is calculated on the same range of earnings as the base,
and has a contribution rate of 2% (1% employer and 1% employee). This additional rate
is being introduced gradually between 2019 and 2023.
The second additional portion will introduce a new range of pensionable earnings
from the year’s maximum to 14% above that maximum between 2024 and 2025. This
new range of earnings will have a new set of contributions with a rate of 8% (4%
employer and 4% employee).
