Consider an individual whose earnings are taxed at a rate of 25 percent under the personal income
Question:
Consider an individual whose earnings are taxed at a rate of 25 percent under the personal income tax and at a combined rate of 10 percent under the Canada Pension Plan and Employment Insurance payroll taxes. Suppose that if the individual becomes unemployed, EI replaces 50 percent of his or her before-tax earnings. (Note that EI benefits are subject to income tax, but not payroll taxes.) What percentage of the individual’s after-tax income is replaced by EI? What are the implications for the effects of EI on unemployment?
