How it works

This calculator uses the official TFSA limits per year since 2009 (Canada TFSA launch). You accumulate room every year starting at age 18, regardless of whether you contribute. Unused room carries forward indefinitely.

Limits per year: $5,000 (2009-2012), $5,500 (2013-2014, 2016-2018), $10,000 (2015), $6,000 (2019-2022), $6,500 (2023), $7,000 (2024-2025), $7,500 (2026).

Why maximize your TFSA?

The TFSA is Canada's most powerful investment tool for most individuals: 100% tax-free growth, flexible withdrawals without penalty, and unused room carries forward. Over 30 years at 7% return, annual contributions of $7,000 generate ~$700,000 — fully tax-free.
