    Six benefits of the TFSA you should know

    TFSA frequently asked questions

     

    • How is TFSA contribution room calculated?

      TFSAs were introduced in 2009, and the contribution room has continued to grow each year since then, with unused contributions rolling over to subsequent years. You can calculate your TFSA contribution room by taking the annual limit, then adding any unused contribution room and eligible withdrawals from previous years. Use the calculator above to help you.

    • What happens if I overcontribute to my TFSA?

      You’ll pay a monthly tax of 1% on the excess contributions until you’ve withdrawn the excess amount.

    • When do TFSA withdrawals create new contribution room?

      Withdrawals are added back to your contribution room on January 1 of the following calendar year.

    • Can investment growth affect TFSA contribution room?

      No. Investment growth is tax-free and does not change your contribution limit.
