CPP and EI in New Brunswick
Payroll contributions come off every paycheque until you reach the yearly ceiling, then stop — which is why take-home pay can rise in December for higher earners.
| Contribution | Employee rate | On earnings | Yearly max |
|---|---|---|---|
| CPP | 5.95% | $3,500 – $74,600 | $4,230.45 |
| CPP2 | 4% | $74,600 – $85,000 | $416.00 |
| Employment Insurance (EI) | 1.63% | Up to $68,900 | $1,123.07 |
CPP and EI rates are the same in every province outside Quebec, so differences in take-home pay between New Brunswick and the other provinces and territories outside Quebec come from income tax alone.
