Built for Canada

These products do not have an equivalent in most other markets, so a global calculator would give the wrong answer.

RRSP

Registered retirement plan with tax-deductible contributions.

🇨🇦 Canada

FHSA

Wrapper vs. plain savings

A rough comparison of holding the same amount inside a local tax wrapper versus an ordinary taxed savings account. Type a rate; this is a sketch, not a quote.

After 10 years at 0.00%
$14,267
Local wrapper, flat charge instead of interest tax
$14,267
Ordinary savings, interest taxed
$15,000

Assumptions are shown, not hidden: a 30% tax on interest in the plain account and a 0.5 percentage-point effective charge inside the wrapper. Your own tax position may differ — this is a calculation, not advice.

These tools sketch the local wrappers and rails that exist in Canada — not a generic US or UK product list. The numbers are illustrative. A written offer and the local tax rules are what count.

How to use them

Compare a plain savings rate with a wrapper on the same horizon, then open savings or term deposits. Deposit protection is explained in deposit protection in Canada. For the wrapper itself: tax wrappers and savings.
