How are eligible IPP contributions calculated?
DB Plan contributions must be calculated by an Actuary based on the benefit formula, the members age and T4 earnings history, and a set of actuarial assumptions. Because the IPP only provides benefits to Specified Individuals, the IPP is termed a Designated Plan. While a Designated Plan, the IPP is subject to maximum funding restrictions. Maximum funding restrictions require the actuary to use ITR-mandated actuarial assumptions. When the IPP is no longer a Designated Plan, the actuary may use his discretion to determine appropriate actuarial assumptions.
