What this assumes
- You need DTC approval first. An RDSP cannot be opened without the Disability Tax Credit. Here is how to apply →
- Income and contributions stay flat. Real life varies. Re-run it when your situation changes — especially the year the beneficiary turns 19, when the income test switches from family income to their own.
- Carry-forward is matched at today’s rates. In reality, each past year’s entitlement depends on that year’s family income, and catch-up contributions are matched at the highest available rate first. If your income was different back then, your real grant will differ.
- Withdrawing early is expensive. For every $1 taken out, $3 of grant and bond is repaid, up to the total paid in the previous 10 years.
- Check provincial rules before withdrawing. Opening and contributing to an RDSP doesn’t affect federal benefits or provincial disability support. Withdrawals can affect some benefits in Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
