What is an RRSP?

A Registered Retirement Savings Plan is a government-regulated account with special tax benefits to help you grow your retirement savings faster. It can hold a variety of assets, including cash, mutual funds and term deposits.

What are the benefits of an RRSP?

​Pay less tax today

You can deduct your annual RRSP contribution from your gross income to reduce the tax you owe each year.  

​Defer tax on interest earned

The interest you earn is tax-sheltered until you retire and withdraw money – at which point you’ll likely be in a lower tax bracket. 

​Borrow for your needs

You can withdraw money without penalty to buy your first home or pay for education, as long as you repay it within 15 years.
