The Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is a federal plan that allows you to save for retirement, a first home or a return to school—while lowering your annual taxes. No wonder over 60% of Canadians have one!

Why open an RRSP?

Less taxes today.

More income tomorrow.

Lower taxes

Each year, you can contribute up to a maximum amount based on your income. This amount lowers your taxable income.

Tax-sheltered growth

Your earnings grow tax-free until you withdraw them—and they grow at an exponential rate since your interest also earns interest over time!

For retirement… and other goals too!

RRSPs are designed to save for retirement with no early withdrawals. But... there are exceptions: you can dip into these savings to buy a first home (HBP) or go back to school (LLP) under certain conditions.

How does it work?

RRSP: Investing in 4 easy steps

One of our advisors2 helps you map out an investment plan for the retirement you want, including: investment horizon, the amount and frequency of your contributions, your risk profile and, finally, the right investments for a winning strategy.

Annual income $60000

The maximum annual contribution is generally 18% of your taxable income or $29,210 (in 2022). This contribution is then deducted from your taxable income.

Didn't maximize your RRSP this year to keep a safety cushion? No worries, your unused contribution room will simply add up.

Your earnings are tax-sheltered, and you benefit from growing income thanks to compound interest.

At retirement or before the end of the year you turn 71, transfer your RRSP to a RRIF or an annuity to set yourself up for retirement and finally enjoy it!

You can also withdraw up to $35,000 before retirement to help buy your first home (HBP) or pay for your education (LLP).

The scenario shown here is for demonstration purposes only3 and should not be relied upon as financial or other advice.
