Frequently Asked Questions

What is the RRSP contribution limit for 2026?

The 2026 RRSP dollar limit is $33,810. Your personal limit is the lesser of $33,810 or 18% of your 2025 earned income, plus any unused carry-forward room from prior years shown on your CRA Notice of Assessment.

How do I calculate my RRSP contribution room?

Start with 18% of your prior-year earned income (capped at $33,810 for 2026), subtract any pension adjustment from a workplace plan, then add any unused carry-forward room from prior years. Your CRA Notice of Assessment shows your exact deduction limit.

How much tax refund will I get from an RRSP contribution?

Your RRSP refund equals your contribution amount multiplied by your combined federal + provincial marginal tax rate. For example, at a 30% marginal rate, a $10,000 contribution saves you approximately $3,000 in taxes.

What is the RRSP contribution deadline for the 2025 tax year?

The deadline to contribute to your RRSP and claim it on your 2025 tax return is March 2, 2026 — 60 days into the new year. Contributions made between January 1 and March 2, 2026 can be applied to either the 2025 or 2026 tax year.
