Best for

  • Younger savers with long compounding horizons
  • Lower current tax bracket than expected retirement bracket
  • Estate planning — heirs inherit tax-free

Watch out for

  • Direct contributions phase out at higher incomes — use the backdoor strategy
  • 5-year seasoning clock on earnings withdrawals (separate from contribution withdrawals)
  • No RMDs during your lifetime, but inherited Roth has beneficiary rules

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.
