A Tax-Free Savings Account is a registered investment account that allows Canadians to earn investment income, including interest, dividends, and capital gains, completely tax-free. Unlike RRSPs, contributions are made with after-tax dollars, but all growth and withdrawals are tax-exempt.
The annual contribution limit varies by year. As of 2025, the annual contribution limit is $7,000. If you've never contributed before and were 18 or older in 2009 when TFSAs were introduced, you have cumulative contribution room of $102,000 (totaling contributions from 2009-2025).
When you withdraw funds, you regain that contribution room the following calendar year. This means you can replace the withdrawn amount without penalty, providing flexibility for your financial needs while maintaining your total tax-free contribution room.
To be eligible for a TFSA, you must be a Canadian resident with a valid Social Insurance Number (SIN) and be 18 years of age or older. Even if you're a Canadian living abroad, you can still maintain your TFSA as long as you have a Canadian SIN and maintain your residency status.
Yes, you can have multiple TFSAs across different financial institutions. However, your total contributions across all accounts must not exceed your annual and cumulative contribution limits. It's important to track your contributions to avoid over-contributing and potential tax penalties. One way to check your contribution room is to sign on or register for an online account with the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA). The CRA tracks all of your TFSA contributions and updates your contribution room at the beginning of every calendar year.
This TFSA savings calculator is for informational purposes only and does not constitute personalized financial advice. Results are based on the information you provide and certain assumptions. The annual rate of return you enter may differ from actual investment returns. This calculator assumes a constant annualized return, without regard to compounding frequency. Actual returns, total annual income, marginal tax rate, and other factors may vary. The calculation assumes that both accounts earn income, which is compounded annually. It also assumes that tax is deducted annually from the taxable account at the 2024 marginal tax rate, that contributions are made at the start of each contribution period, and that calculations are based on a 52-week year.
To estimate income from non-registered investments, the calculator applies an assumed tax rate based on the user’s marginal tax rate for ordinary income as determined by their gross income and province or territory. The actual after-tax income from non-registered investments may vary from the projected values if investments generate capital gains or dividends instead of ordinary income, or if the amount of investment income exceeds the difference between gross income and the upper limit of the marginal tax bracket.
