If you're If you’re a non-OPP officer or non-OPP civilian (including First Nations officers and civilians) joining the Plan, we encourage you to read this page to learn about your contributions to the Plan.

How do contributions work?

The The PSPP is a contributory defined benefit (DB) plan. That means you’re required to make contributions to the Plan throughout your working years and your employer matches those contributions.

Contributions are automatically deducted from your pay each period and deposited directly into the Plan to allow you to start building your pension credit.

Contributions

For non-OPP officers and non-OPP civilians:

Until June 30 2025, your annual contributions are:

7.4% of your annual salary below the year's maximum pensionable earnings (YMPE), plus 10.5% of your annual salary above the YMPE.

In other words, you contribute:

  • $7.40 for every $100 you earn below the YMPE
  • $10.50 for every $100 you earn above the YMPE

For 2025, the YMPE is $71,300.
