The Basics

RRSP (Registered Retirement Savings Plan)

  • Contributions are tax-deductible
  • Withdrawals are taxable as income
  • Best for high-income earners expecting a lower bracket in retirement

TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account)

  • Contributions made with after-tax dollars
  • Withdrawals are completely tax-free
  • Annual limit: $7,000 for 2025

Which Should You Choose?

Choose RRSP if: You're in a higher tax bracket now.

Choose TFSA if: You're in a lower bracket or expect income to grow.
