Best for

  • Higher current tax bracket than expected retirement bracket
  • Capturing employer matching contributions
  • Disciplined savers who reinvest the refund

Watch out for

  • Every dollar withdrawn is fully taxable as income
  • Over-contribution triggers a 1%/month penalty tax
  • Withdrawing early (non-HBP/LLP) means immediate tax plus lost contribution room

This is educational, not financial advice. An advisor can apply it to your specific situation.

About this tool

This calculator runs a three-phase simulation: accumulation (working years with contributions and growth), preservation (wind-down near retirement with a conservative return), and distribution (retirement withdrawals).

Account-specific features are included automatically: employer match for 401(k) plans, CESG grants for RESP, CDSG grants for RDSP, tax-free growth for TFSA/Roth accounts, tax-deferred growth for RRSP/traditional accounts, and capital-gains treatment for brokerage accounts.

Projections assume constant returns and don't model sequence-of-return risk, inflation (unless toggled), or tax-law changes. A licensed advisor can run stochastic simulations and build a comprehensive retirement plan.
