RRIF Withdrawal Calculator

Calculate your mandatory minimum RRIF withdrawals for every age, the tax you'll owe, how long your money lasts, and whether you'll trigger the OAS clawback.

๐Ÿ“‹

Your RRSP must become a RRIF by age 71 โ€” and withdrawals are mandatory

The CRA sets a minimum withdrawal percentage that increases every year as you age โ€” from 5.28% at age 71 up to 20% at 95+. Every dollar you withdraw is fully taxable as income. This calculator shows you the full picture so there are no surprises.

๐Ÿ’ก RRIF Planning Tips for Canadians

๐Ÿ‘ซ Use Your Spouse's Age

If your spouse is younger, elect to use their age for your RRIF minimum. This reduces your mandatory withdrawal each year โ€” keeping more money growing tax-sheltered longer.

๐Ÿฆ Convert Early if Rates Are Low

You don't have to wait until 71 to convert. Converting to a RRIF before 71 gives you flexibility โ€” and if your income is low that year, early withdrawals may be taxed at a lower rate.

๐Ÿ’ฐ Move Excess to TFSA

If you don't need your full RRIF minimum for living expenses, withdraw it and immediately contribute the after-tax amount to your TFSA. It keeps growing tax-free.

๐ŸŽฏ Avoid the OAS Clawback

RRIF withdrawals add to your taxable income. If you're near the $93,454 clawback threshold, plan withdrawals carefully โ€” or draw from your TFSA instead to protect OAS.
