❓ Frequently Asked Questions: Canadian Personal Income Taxes
What is the difference between marginal tax rate and average tax rate? ▼
Your average (effective) tax rate is the total percentage of tax you pay on your entire income (Total Tax ÷ Gross Salary). Your marginal tax rate is the tax rate applied to your very next dollar of income. Because Canada uses graduated tax brackets, your marginal rate is always higher than your average tax rate.
What are the maximum annual contributions for CPP and EI? ▼
For base CPP, the employee rate is 5.95% up to the YMPE of $68,500 (less the $3,500 basic exemption), resulting in a maximum base CPP contribution of $3,867.50. CPP2 adds up to $188.00 on earnings between $68,500 and $73,200. For Employment Insurance (EI), the employee premium is 1.66% up to maximum insurable earnings of $63,200, capping at $1,049.12 annually.
How does Ontario Health Premium and Surtax work? ▼
Ontario levies an additional Surtax on provincial income tax exceeding $5,315 (20% surtax) and $6,802 (an additional 36% surtax), along with an annual Ontario Health Premium ranging up to $900 for high earners.
When does CPP and EI deduction stop during the year? ▼
Once your cumulative year-to-date earnings reach the statutory ceilings ($68,500 for CPP and $63,200 for EI), your employer ceases withholding CPP and EI premiums for the remainder of that calendar year, resulting in an automatic pay increase in your late-year paychecks.
What is the annual deadline to file personal income tax in Canada? ▼
For most individuals, the deadline to file their T1 personal income tax return with the CRA and pay any taxes owed is April 30. For self-employed individuals and their spouses, the filing deadline is June 15, although any tax balance owing must still be paid by April 30 to avoid interest charges.
