Payroll contributions in 2026
| Deduction | Rate | Annual maximum |
|---|---|---|
| QPP – base plan | 6.30% | $4,479.30 |
| QPP – additional plan ($74,600 to $85,000) | 4.00% | $416.00 |
| Employment Insurance (Quebec reduced rate) | 1.30% | $895.70 |
| QPIP (parental insurance) | 0.43% | $442.90 |
QPP contributions don't apply to the first $3,500 of salary. Once the annual maximum is reached, the deduction stops for the rest of the year, which is why December paycheques are often slightly bigger for higher earners.
