RRSP


REGISTERED RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

Canadians' Primary Method of Retirement Saving

RRSP - Registered Retirement Savings Plans is the most popular retirement savings tool often used as a main saving method. It allows you to invest money today and have the earnings accumulate tax-free for years until you decide to withdraw the funds throughout your retirement years.

Why RRSP is such a popular retirement savings tool?

• Lowers the amount of income tax paid by contributing toward RRSP.

• Carries forward unused contribution room to future higher income-earning years.

• Allows contributions up to age 71.

• Grants spousal RRSP options for income sharing efficiency in the future.

• Permits withdrawals, however, the amount taken out is taxable income.

• Allows individuals to self-manage their RRSP investments.

If you don't know your RRSP contribution limit, please check online with the Canada Revenue Agency.
