SavingsCalculator.ca SAME DEPOSITS. DIFFERENT TAX ASSUMPTIONS.

TFSA, RRSP and taxable interest · a transparent illustration

Separate gross balances, interest tax assumptions and illustrative RRSP withdrawal tax without an account recommendation.

Same nominal deposits and rate. No contribution-room check, deduction reinvestment, tax brackets or benefits calculation. The taxable example assumes all growth is interest taxed monthly; it is not a stocks, dividends or capital-gains tax model.

These are not account recommendations
TFSA and RRSP are account structures, not guaranteed rates. They can hold different assets. RRSP deductions, personal room, changing tax rates and benefit effects require a wider review. Read the account guide.
