About Non-Registered Accounts

🇨🇦Canada

No limits, no shelter — flexible but subject to annual tax drag on income and gains.

At a glance

Contribution limitNone
Capital gains50% inclusion rate × marginal tax rate
Eligible dividendsFavourable tax treatment via dividend tax credit

Best for

  • Investing after all registered accounts (RRSP, TFSA, FHSA) are maxed
  • Flexible access before age 71 with no forced withdrawals
  • Canadian eligible dividend strategies in retirement

Watch out for

  • Interest income is taxed at your full marginal rate — worst tax treatment
  • Attribution rules apply when gifting to a spouse
  • Foreign dividends (US stocks) taxed as interest — less favourable than Canadian dividends

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.
