Understanding RRSP Contributions

A Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) is a tax-advantaged account that helps Canadians save for retirement. Contributions are tax-deductible, meaning they reduce your taxable income for the year.

How RRSP Contribution Room Works

Your RRSP contribution room is calculated as 18% of your previous year's earned income, up to the annual maximum ($32,490 for 2025). Unused room carries forward indefinitely.

Why Contribute to an RRSP?

  • Tax deduction: Contributions reduce your taxable income
  • Tax-deferred growth: Investments grow without annual taxation
  • Lower tax in retirement: Withdrawals are taxed at your retirement rate, which is often lower
  • Home Buyers' Plan: Withdraw up to $35,000 tax-free for a first home
  • Lifelong Learning Plan: Withdraw up to $10,000/year for education
