Contributions to the Québec Pension Plan (QPP)

As an employer, it is your responsibility to collect QPP contributions and remit them to Revenu Québec.

Calculation of contributions

In January 2019, the enhancement to the Québec Pension Plan came into effect, which resulted in the introduction of an additional plan  and the payment of additional contributions. Therefore, in 2024, the contribution rate is 12.80% of an employee's gross earnings. The rate includes contributions to the basic plan and the additional plan. You pay half (6.40%) and you deduct the other half at source from the employee's pay.

The contribution rate is applied to the portion of pay included between:

  • the basic exemption ($3500)

    and

  • the maximum pensionable earnings (MPE), which are $68 500 en 2024
