What this estimate includes
The minimum uses the January 1 balance and the age selected for the RRIF factor. No minimum is required in the calendar year the RRIF is first established.
The actual-tax result is an incremental federal and provincial income-tax estimate. It does not model every credit, pension splitting, OAS recovery tax or benefit reduction.
Questions this calculator answers
Is tax withheld from the RRIF minimum?
No withholding is generally required on the minimum amount, although the withdrawal remains taxable income.
How is withholding calculated above the minimum?
The excess portion uses the lump-sum withholding rates. A series of instalments under one request may use the rate based on the total requested excess.
Is RRIF withholding the final tax?
No. It is a payment toward the final income tax calculation, which depends on total income, province, credits and deductions.
Can the RRIF minimum use my spouse’s age?
Yes, if you elected to use a younger spouse or common-law partner’s age when the RRIF was established.
