TFSA vs. RRSP vs. Taxable Comparison Calculator

What investment account do I fill first? Locate assets to minimize your tax bill and maximize long-term wealth. 

What It Does:

  • Shows, through example, how after tax wealth changes depending on the account you use to invest.
    • TFSA
    • RRSP
    • Taxable 
  • My goal is to help you make decisions on how to prioritize contributions to the TFSA, RRSP, and taxable accounts in a way that maximizes after-tax wealth. This was a tool I used for myself. I am sharing it. 
  • Helps to understand unique cases where a taxable account can be better than an RRSP.
