At $83,200 a year, base CPP (5.95% on earnings between $3,500 and $74,600) maxes out around week 47 of the year. Use the CPP & EI max-out calculator to find the exact pay date for your own schedule.
EI premiums (1.63% on insurable earnings up to $68,900) max out even earlier, around week 43.
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 $3,200.00, that's about $242.56 more per pay period for the rest of the year.
