The ongoing Canada Pension Plan (CPP) enhancements aim to ensure retirement financial security for plan users or contributors. The rollout began in 2019, and the phase-in of the enhanced benefits would be in seven years or 2025. For all employees, employers, and self-employed, pension contributions are gradually increasing.
Based on the CPP rate table, the employee and employer contribution rate for 2021 will increase to 5.45% from 5.25% in 2020. It means, too, that the new self-employed contribution rate will be 11.9% from 10.5%. The enhancements will reduce paychecks once more, although the payouts would be bigger when you retire.
