===How much you might get on EI===
The amount of EI you get depends on the type of EI benefit, how much you’ve been earning, and where you live.

For most people, the basic rate for calculating EI regular benefits is 55% of your pay, up to a maximum amount. The maximum amount changes over time. The federal government posts the current figure. [https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/ei/ei-regular-benefit/benefit-amount.html See their website].

In calculating your EI benefits, the government considers your gross earnings (before deductions), including tips and commissions. EI benefits are taxable income, so taxes are deducted.

Your benefits may be reduced if you earn certain types of income during your benefit period. For example, income from self-employment. Other types of income won’t reduce your benefits, such as pension income from an RRSP or RRIF.

The federal government provides a full list of income types, and how they affect EI benefits. [https://www.canada.ca/en/services/benefits/ei/earnings-chart.html See the EI earnings chart].

You can work part-time and still get EI. Under the working while on claim rules, you keep 50 cents of EI benefits for every dollar you earn in wages, up to a maximum amount.
