Retirement in Canada

Plan retirement income with fewer assumptions and better tools.

Estimate savings and withdrawals, understand RRSP and RRIF decisions, account for CPP and OAS, compare investment fees and review the major planning questions in one place.

A practical planning sequence

Retirement planning is clearer when the decisions are made in the right order.

1

Set spending targets

Separate essential expenses, flexible lifestyle spending and one-time costs.

2

Map income sources

Include employment income, pensions, CPP, OAS and planned account withdrawals.

3

Test withdrawal order

Compare RRSP or RRIF, non-registered and TFSA withdrawals under different tax assumptions.

4

Stress-test the plan

Model lower returns, higher inflation, longer life and unexpected spending.

Use current official information

Contribution room, benefits, tax rules and payment amounts change. Confirm important decisions with CRA, Service Canada and a qualified professional.

Educational, not personal advice

The calculators provide scenarios based on your inputs. They do not replace individualized tax, investment, legal or estate-planning advice.
