How do I calculate "earned income" from my T4? Apparently it's not the same as "employment income".

I'm interested in finding out how CRA calculates RRSP deduction limits. e.g. 18% of "earned income" - pension adjustments. Thanks

Generally speaking, for our type of pension plan, the government's determination of any one year's new RRSP room is 18% of the previous year's earned income (subject to the maximum RRSP limit) minus the previous year's pension adjustment (value of pension benefit accrued).

Earned income for RRSP purposes includes the total of income from employment, income from a non-incorporated business, income from rental of real property, royalties and alimony received LESS the total of losses from a non-incorporated business, losses from rental of real property and alimony paid. Earned income excludes pension income, retiring allowances, investment income, and income earned while a non-resident of Canada.
