The QPP splits into two parts that are taxed differently — the base portion is a tax credit, while the enhanced portion and QPP2 are deducted from your taxable income. Most calculators collapse them into one line and get the tax wrong.
| Deduction | Amount | How it is treated |
|---|---|---|
| QPP — base portion | $3,768 | Non-refundable tax credit |
| QPP — enhanced portion | $711 | Deduction from taxable income |
| QPP2 (second additional) | $416 | Deduction from taxable income |
| Employment Insurance | $896 | Non-refundable tax credit |
| QPIP (parental insurance) | $443 | Non-refundable tax credit |
| Total contributions | $6,234 |
