At $58,240 a year, your earnings stay below the $74,600 CPP ceiling all year, so base CPP is deducted from every paycheque.
EI premiums apply to every paycheque all year at this income, since annual earnings stay under the $68,900 insurable maximum.
Once CPP and EI both stop, the roughly 7.58% of gross pay that was going to those deductions instead lands in your account. On a bi-weekly paycheque of $2,240.00, that's about $169.79 more per pay period for the rest of the year.
