Jasmine works for a Saskatchewan employer and earns $500.00 weekly. Calculate her Employment Insurance (EI) premium.
Correct Answer:
$8.15 (employee EI premium for the week)
Explanation:
For employees whose province of employment is outside Quebec (including Saskatchewan), EI premiums are calculated by multiplying the employee's insurable earnings by the employee EI premium rate for the year, up to the annual maximum insurable earnings. For 2026, the employee EI premium rate outside Quebec is $1.63 per $100 of insurable earnings (which is 1.63%).
Jasmine earns $500.00 weekly and (based on the question) we assume all earnings are insurable and she has not reached the annual maximum. Her EI premium is:
$500.00 × 1.63% = $500.00 × 0.0163 = $8.15.
This amount is deducted from the employee's pay and later remitted to the CRA as part of the employer's regular payroll remittance. The maximum insurable earnings for 2026 is $68,900, but at $500 per week she would only hit the maximum later in the year (if at all), so the weekly premium calculation above applies.
