The deadline to make a 2020 RRSP contribution is March 1, 2021.

The allowable RRSP contribution limit for 2020 is the lower of:

  • 18% of income you reported on your tax return in 2019
  • Maximum annual contribution limit of 2020 – $27,230

Plus any unused contribution room carried forward from prior years.

If you have a company pension plan, your RRSP contribution limit is reduced.

Any unused RRSP contribution room can be carried forward indefinitely to be used for future years.

You can also find your RRSP contribution limit & carry-forward room on your 2019 Notice of Assessment.

For more information, visit the official CRA website.

We at SJ Chartered Accountant suggest to make RRSP contributions within your contribution limit as any amount over-contributed is charged at an interest of 1% per month by CRA.
