* Starting in 2024, a higher, second earnings ceiling of $73,200 will be implemented and used to determine second additional CPP contributions (CPP2). As a result, pensionable earnings between $68,500 and $73,200 are subject to CPP2 contributions. Contributors are not required or permitted to make contributions on pensionable earnings above $73,200.

YMPE = Yearly Maximum Pensionable Earnings (original or regular CPP contribution)

YAMPE = Yearly Additional Maximum Pensionable Earnings (the second CPP contribution, CPP2)
