RRSP 2027 Contribution Limit Calculator — New $35,390 Cap

RRSP 2027: CRA Confirms $35,390 Limit — Calculate Your Tax Savings by Province

The Canada Revenue Agency has confirmed the 2027 RRSP contribution limit at $35,390, up from $32,490 in 2026. With combined federal-provincial marginal rates reaching 53.53% in some provinces, the tax savings from maximizing your RRSP can exceed $18,000.

Why the 2027 Limit Matters Now

RRSP contribution room is calculated as 18% of the previous year's earned income, capped at the annual maximum. For the 2027 tax year, that cap is $35,390 — meaning you need $196,611+ in 2026 earned income to hit the ceiling. Unused room carries forward indefinitely, so this year's planning affects next year's opportunity.

What the Calculator Shows

The RRSP 2027 Contribution Limit Calculator takes your earned income, unused room, pension adjustment, province, and planned contribution — then calculates:

  • 2027 deduction limit (18% × income, capped at $35,390)
  • Available contribution room (limit + unused - pension adjustment)
  • Federal tax saved from your contribution
  • Provincial tax saved (all 13 provinces/territories)
  • Total estimated refund
  • Per $1,000 contributed savings ratio
  • Marginal rate before and after RRSP deduction

Tax Savings by Province (at $100K income, $20K RRSP contribution)

| Province | Marginal Rate | Tax Saved | |----------|--------------|-----------| | Ontario | 29.65% | ~$5,930 | | BC | 28.20% | ~$5,640 | | Quebec | 41.12% | ~$8,224 | | Alberta | 30.50% | ~$6,100 | | Nova Scotia | 37.17% | ~$7,434 |

RRSP vs TFSA vs FHSA in 2027

The RRSP isn't always the best choice. If your current tax rate is lower than your expected retirement rate, a TFSA might win. First-time home buyers should consider the FHSA ($8,000/year, $40,000 lifetime) which combines RRSP-like deductions with TFSA-like tax-free growth.
