Designed to help you save money for a wide range of goals — not just retirement. Contributions are not tax-deductible, but all the interest and income earned is tax-free. Any money you withdraw is tax-free too. You can access funds from your TFSA any time without penalty and recontribute (up to your personal TFSA contribution room)^ⓘ. You get competitive interest rates and there is no need to keep a minimum balance. Unlike a Registered Retirement Savings Plan, you don’t need to close your account when you reach a certain age. If saving for retirement is what you are looking to do, then an RRSP may also be appropriate for your needs.
