2010 Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Employment Insurance (EI) Information

For 2010, CPP and EI contributions began on January 1, 2010 on all eligible earnings, and will continue throughout the year until the maximum contribution levels are reached. As CPP and EI deductions began January 1, 2010, employees who reached the maximum contribution levels in 2009 may have seen a reduction in their 'net' payment for January 2010 in comparison to their December 2009 'net' payment.

Employee contributions to CPP and EI are based on all eligible earnings beginning with the first pay each January. Contributions cease during the calendar year once the maximum contributions are reached. For those employees who earned more than the yearly maximum pensionable earnings of $46,300.00 and more than the maximum insurable earnings of $42,300.00 in the calendar year 2009, the maximum contributions would probably have been reached prior to the December 2009 pay period.

Employees earning the 2010 yearly maximum pensionable earnings or greater ($47,200.00) will see annual increase of $44.55 over 2009 contributions. Employees earning the 2009 maximum insurable earnings or greater ($43,200.00) will see an annual increase in premiums of $15.57 over 2009 premiums.
