Quebec Pay Stub Generator: Guide Complet des Talons de Paie

Quebec's Unique Payroll System

Quebec has its own pension and parental insurance systems, making payroll calculations different from the rest of Canada. This guide covers everything you need to know about creating Quebec pay stubs.

Le système de paie unique du Québec

Le Québec possède ses propres régimes de retraite et d'assurance parentale, ce qui rend les calculs de paie différents du reste du Canada.

QPP vs CPP: Key Differences

Quebec employees contribute to the Quebec Pension Plan (QPP/RRQ) instead of the Canada Pension Plan:

| Feature | CPP | QPP/RRQ | |---------|-----|---------| | Rate (2026) | 5.95% | 6.40% | | Max Contribution | $4,034.10 | $4,339.20 | | Basic Exemption | $3,500 | $3,500 | | Max Pensionable | $71,300 | $71,300 |

Important: Employees cannot contribute to both CPP and QPP. The plan depends on where the employee works, not where the employer is located.

QPIP/RQAP: Quebec Parental Insurance

Quebec has its own parental insurance plan separate from EI:

2026 QPIP Rates

| | Employee | Employer | |---|----------|----------| | Rate | 0.494% | 0.692% | | Max Earnings | $94,000 | $94,000 | | Max Premium | $464.36 | $650.48 |

Because Quebec has QPIP, EI rates are reduced for Quebec employees.
