What are Quebec's 2026 income tax brackets?

How are QPP and EI calculated in Quebec?

Quebec workers pay QPP instead of CPP: 6.3% on earnings between $3,500 and $74,600 (max $4,479.30), plus QPP2 at 4% up to $85,000. EI is 1.3% up to $68,900 because Quebec runs its own parental insurance plan, QPIP (0.494% up to $103,000).

Is this an exact take-home figure?

No — it is an estimate for the 2026 tax year. It applies the standard employee credits (basic personal amounts, CPP/QPP and EI contributions, the Canada employment amount); RRSP contributions, union dues, benefits and other credits are not modelled, and your employer's payroll withholding can differ from your final tax owing.

QPP and EI in Quebec

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
QPP	6.3%	$3,500 – $74,600	$4,479.30
QPP2	4%	$74,600 – $85,000	$416.00
Employment Insurance (EI)	1.3%	Up to $68,900	$895.70
QPIP (parental insurance)	0.494%	Up to $103,000	$508.82

Quebec replaces CPP with the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) and runs its own parental insurance plan (QPIP), so Quebec workers pay a lower EI rate (1.3%) plus QPIP.
