What is the Canada Pension Plan (CPP)?

CPP is a mandatory contributory pension plan for Canadian employees. It provides retirement, disability, and survivor benefits. Employees and employers each contribute 5.95% on pensionable earnings between $3,500 and $71,300 (2025). Self-employed pay both sides (11.9%).

What is CPP2 (Enhanced CPP)?

CPP2 was fully phased in starting 2024. It applies to earnings between the YMPE ($71,300) and the Year's Additional Maximum Pensionable Earnings (YAMPE $81,900 for 2025). The rate is 4% (employee and employer each). CPP2 contributions build additional future benefits.

Can you opt out of CPP?

Quebec has its own plan (QPP — Quebec Pension Plan) with different rates. Outside Quebec, most employees cannot opt out. However, employees age 65-70 who receive CPP retirement pension can elect to stop contributing.

What retirement benefits does CPP provide?

CPP retirement pension (CPP Retirement Benefit): up to $1,364.60/month at age 65 in 2025. You can take it as early as 60 (36% reduction) or as late as 70 (42% increase). CPP2 contributions provide an additional benefit on top.
