| Deduction | Amount | How it is treated |
|---|---|---|
| CPP — base portion | $2,797 | Non-refundable tax credit |
| CPP — enhanced portion | $565 | Deduction from taxable income |
| CPP2 (second additional) | $0 | Deduction from taxable income |
| Employment Insurance | $978 | Non-refundable tax credit |
| Total contributions | $4,340 |
