FHSA: annual limit $8,000, lifetime limit $40,000. Contributions are tax-deductible; withdrawals for qualifying first home purchase are tax-free. HBP: withdraw up to $35,000 from RRSP tax-free; must repay over 15 years. Both benefits can be combined.

What is the FHSA + Home Buyers' Plan Calculator?

Canada's First Home Savings Account (FHSA) is the newest first-time buyer tool: contributions are tax-deductible (like RRSP) and withdrawals for a qualifying home purchase are tax-free (like TFSA). The annual limit is $8,000 with a $40,000 lifetime cap. Combined with the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan ($35,000/person), a couple buying together can access up to $150,000 in tax-advantaged first-home savings.

Formula

FHSA Tax Saving = Total Contributions × Marginal Rate. FHSA Balance = Future value of monthly contributions. Total Support = FHSA Balance + HBP Amount.
FV_FHSA
= Future value of FHSA contributions
HBP
= RRSP Home Buyers' Plan withdrawal
