RRSP drawdown

A better RRSP withdrawal strategy starts with the whole retirement picture.

Suffisa helps Canadian households test when to draw RRSP assets, when to preserve them, and how those choices interact with CPP, OAS, taxable accounts, TFSAs, and future RRIF minimums.

Tax-aware

RRSP withdrawals are treated as taxable income, not just portfolio cash flow.

Canada-specific

The simulator includes CPP, OAS, OAS recovery tax, RRIF minimums, and provincial tax.

Private by design

The free plan runs in your browser, so your inputs stay on your device.

Core decision

The question is rarely RRSP first or RRSP last.

The right order can change by age, income, account mix, and whether future RRIF minimums could push taxable income higher than necessary.

  • Drawing too little from RRSPs early can leave larger mandatory RRIF withdrawals later.
  • Drawing too much can reduce OAS and raise current tax.
  • TFSA and non-registered accounts can smooth income when RRSP withdrawals would be expensive.
What Suffisa models

Compare the accounts together, year by year.

A useful RRSP strategy has to sit beside the rest of the plan. Suffisa maps each year to age 100 and looks for a withdrawal order that supports steady spending.

  • RRSP/RRIF balances and required withdrawals
  • TFSA withdrawals and tax-free sheltering
  • Non-registered capital gains assumptions
  • CPP and OAS start ages, including OAS clawback effects
