Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)

Federal AMT changed significantly in 2024. Provincial AMT is calculated as a percentage of the federal AMT payable (except Quebec).

Provincial AMT — % of Federal AMT Payable

How Provincial AMT Works

When an individual owes federal AMT, they also owe provincial AMT calculated as a percentage of that federal amount. For example, if federal AMT is $10,000 and you live in Alberta (35%), your provincial AMT would be $3,500, for a combined AMT of $13,500. Quebec is the exception — it has its own independent Quebec AMT (QAMT) with separate rules and rates.

CPP Contribution Rates & Maximums

Canada Pension Plan base CPP contribution rates for employees, employers, and self-employed individuals, 2010–2026. Starting 2024, CPP2 applies on earnings above the first earnings ceiling — see CRA for CPP2 details.

2025 EE/ER Rate 5.95%
2025 YMPE $71,300
2025 Max EE/ER Contribution $4,034.10
2025 Max Self-Employed $8,068.20
