Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSPs)

An RRSP is a personal savings plan that lets you save for your retirement on a tax-sheltered basis, so your money can grow faster!

Benefits of RRSPs include:

  • Your annual contribution can be deducted from your gross income, reducing the amount of income tax you pay that year.
  • The income you earn is sheltered from tax, allowing it to grow faster. By the time you retire and withdraw funds, you will likely be in a lower tax bracket.
  • Withdraw money to buy your first home1 or pay for your or your spouse’s education2, without penalty—providing it’s repaid within the specified time.

If you have an existing RRSP with RBC Royal Bank®, you can contribute to it through RBC Online Banking.

Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP)

An RESP is a tax-sheltered plan that helps you save for a child’s post-secondary education faster.

Benefits of an RESP include:

  • Tax Sheltered Growth—Earnings within an RESP are not taxed. When the funds are taken out for education, withdrawals are taxed in the student’s hands, often resulting in little or no tax.
  • Grow your savings faster with the Canada Education Savings Grant (CESG)3, Canada Learning Bond (CLB)4, and other government incentives. See RESP Grants and Bonds.
  • Built-In Flexibility—if the child doesn’t pursue post-secondary education, you may be able to choose a new beneficiary. Or, if he or she wants to travel first, you have 35 years to use the funds.

If you have an existing RESP with RBC Royal Bank®, you can contribute to it through RBC Online Banking.

If you're an eligible Canadian with a disability, an RDSP is a unique savings program that can help you create greater long-term financial security and grow your savings in a tax-deferred environment.

Benefits of RDSPs include:

  • Defer Tax on Investment Income—Taxes on investment income and capital gains earned are deferred while in the RDSP, helping the plan to grow faster.
  • Use Funds for anything—Funds can be withdrawn for any purpose that benefits the person with the disability. Plus, family and friends can contribute to the plan with the written consent of the plan holder.
  • The Federal Government will match your contributions (limits apply5) up to $70,000 in Canada Disability Savings Grants and low-income families may qualify for additional help of up to $20,000 in Canada Disability Savings Bonds.

If you have an existing RDSP with RBC Royal Bank®, you can contribute to it through RBC Online Banking.

Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF)

A RRIF is like an extension of your Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP), but instead of putting money in, you withdraw from it to use throughout retirement.

Benefits of RRIFs include:

  • Similar to an RRSP, your money continues to grow tax-sheltered in a RRIF
  • Decide when and how much to withdraw as long as you take the required minimum amount.
  • When you pass away, RRIF assets can transfer to your spouse on a tax-free basis

Stocks and Bonds

Get access to a complete range of equity investments and Canada’s leading inventory of government and corporate bonds.

Stocks

If you are focused on building your wealth , are comfortable with fluctuating returns and want the potential for greater long-term earnings compared to bonds and cash investments, then including stocks in your investment portfolio could be right for you. Stocks can also help you create a balanced portfolio when combined with fixed-income investments such as bonds as well as provide you with tax-efficient dividend income.

Bonds

If you are focused on capital preservation or need income from your investments, then bonds may make sense for you. Including bonds in your investment portfolio is ideal if you want a relatively secure, low-risk investment, if you need regular investment income, or you are looking to diversify your overall portfolio to reduce risk.
