A buffer for uneven income

Try a lower-deposit scenario for months when work is quieter. Use the same savings interest assumptions when comparing it with your base plan.

Start with your costs, not a provincial average.

The useful amount to save comes from your own budget, household commitments and timeline. No province is assigned a higher return or a recommended account by this website.

Three things to write down.

  • The target amount and date for this particular goal.
  • The monthly deposit your present budget can sustain.
  • The account access, fees and tax assumptions you need to check.

Tax stays an explicit assumption.

The account worksheet accepts a user-chosen interest-tax percentage. It does not calculate Alberta income tax, benefits or registered contribution room. If a rate or tax assumption is uncertain, compare the same deposits at a lower return before making a decision.
