Payroll contributions
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 | $2,995 | Non-refundable tax credit |
| QPP — enhanced portion | $565 | Deduction from taxable income |
| QPP2 (second additional) | $0 | Deduction from taxable income |
| Employment Insurance | $780 | Non-refundable tax credit |
| QPIP (parental insurance) | $258 | Non-refundable tax credit |
| Total contributions | $4,598 |
