Make your savings work for you

The Registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) and Tax-free savings account (TFSA) are the bedrock of most Canadians savings, investing and retirement planning. They complement each other well, but they help you achieve your goals in slightly different ways.

RRSP

Pay less tax now
Growth sheltered from taxes
Keep more of your investments
Generally for saving for retirement

TFSA

Flexible
Versatile
Access your money tax-free
Usually for short-term goals

Save for your kid’s education

A registered education savings plan (RESP) allows you to use tax-free savings and government contributions to help set your children up for success.

A high interest option for short-term saving

The Canada Life high interest savings account offers growth through a competitive interest rate along with the convenience and security of a traditional savings account.

Why should you save?

Achieve your goals

Achieving your financial goals can be very satisfying and will continue to motivate you to save.

More security

Saving can give you a financial cushion to give you time to adapt to life’s changing circumstances.

Options

Look past paying off your next bill to spend your money on what matters to you.

Saves you money

You can avoid making high monthly interest rate payments by saving your own money to use.

Basic rules for saving

Don’t know where to start? Here are some basic guidelines to follow when saving:

If you’ll be paying more in interest than you’ll earn with a savings plan it makes sense to pay the debt before you start saving. The habit of regularly paying down debt can then be used to once the debt is cleared to contribute to a savings plan.

Pay high interest debt first

Pay yourself first by setting up regular contributions to your savings plan. The amount you save and the frequency is totally dependent on your circumstances, but even small contributions made each month will grow.

You come first

Nothing helps your savings grow quite like time. The earlier your start saving, the more time your money as to grow and benefit from compound growth and interest.

Start early

There’s not much that’s free in life so when the government matches a portion of your contributions in an RESP or your employer will pay into your retirement savings plan we should take advantage.

Take free money when it’s there

Take advantage of the tax benefits the government offers to encourage saving. An RRSP allows you to defer paying your income taxes on your contributions until you withdraw your money, usually at a lower tax rate. A TFSA lets you invest and withdraw it your money tax-free.
