Why invest your money with RRSP
Contributions you make to your RRSP reduce your taxable income while your investments grow on a tax-deferred basis.
What is an RRSP?
RRSP helps you save for retirement. While there are several kinds of registered savings plans, they all have the same important feature: you don’t have to pay income tax on the money you earn from your investments while they’re in the plan.
How much can I contribute?
RRSP allows you to make tax-deductible contributions each year, either in a lump sum or through regular Pre-Authorized Contributions (PACs). The maximum you can contribute each year is set by the Canadian government and depends on your income.
What else can I use the money for?
Funds in an RRSP are eligible for Canadian government programs that can help you buy your first home or pay for education for you, your spouse, or your common-law partner.
Is this Registered Plan right for you?
Right for you if you:
- Plan on making a contribution to your RRSP to reduce your taxable income while your investments grow on a tax-deferred basis
- Understand the maximum you can contribute each year as set by the Canadian Government, which depends on your income
- Have funds in an RRSP that are eligible for programs that can help you buy your first home or pay for education for you, your spouse, or your common-law partner
May not be right for you if you:
- Do not have available contribution room
- Are turning 71 this year - since you can only hold and contribute to an RSP until the year in which you turn 71
