Reading a Quebec pay stub

Income tax: federal and Quebec tax together, shown as two lines on a Quebec stub, because Revenu Québec collects its own. Your employer withholds it based on your TD1 and TP-1015.3 forms.
QPP: 6.3% of pay above the $3,500 yearly exemption, up to $74,600, then QPP2 at 4% up to $85,000. Your employer pays the same again.
EI: 1.3% of pay up to $68,900 a year (lower than elsewhere, because Quebec pays parental benefits itself). Your employer pays 1.4 times your premium.
QPIP: the Quebec Parental Insurance Plan, 0.43% of pay up to $103,000 a year.
Net pay: what is deposited.

Questions people ask

+How much tax comes off a $2,000 paycheque in Quebec?

On $2,000 every two weeks ($52,000 a year) in Quebec in 2026, about $302.83 of income tax, $117.52 of QPP and $34.60 of EI and QPIP come off, leaving $1,545.05.

+What deductions come off a paycheque in Quebec?

Federal income tax, Quebec income tax, QPP (instead of CPP), EI at the lower Quebec rate of 1.3% and QPIP. Your stub may also show pension plan contributions, union dues, group benefits and any extra tax you asked for.

+Why did my QPP and EI deductions stop late in the year?

Both have a yearly maximum. Once your earnings pass $68,900 you stop paying EI, and once they pass $74,600 regular QPP stops (QPP2 continues up to $85,000). They start again in January, so your first cheque of the year is smaller.

+How accurate is this pay stub calculator?

It annualizes your pay, works out the year’s tax and contributions, and divides by your number of pay periods. Payroll software uses the CRA formulas cheque by cheque, so a single stub can be a few dollars different, especially for the first and last cheques of the year or if your hours change.
