8. How much do I need? • Experts suggest you will need to replace 70% of your salary. • Keep in mind, your income will come from three sources: • Government programs (Old Age Security, Canada or Quebec pension Plan) • Your group savings and retirement program • Your personal savings (real estate, other savings plans or income)

9. Advantages of payroll deductions • In the example below, saving $50 really only costs you $30 on your take home pay. And you pay less in tax. 5% = $50

10. How much am I allowed to contribute? • Limit set by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) • 18% of your previous year’s earned income or the dollar maximum stipulated for the current year • Note: It is your responsibility to monitor your limits • Check your Notice of Assessment (only for RRSP and TFSA) www.cra-arc.gc.ca

Regular contributions. • $100/month over 40 years $148,856 • $200/month over 20 years $81,492 Same amount of money ($48,000), same investment return (5%), longer period of time… the savings almost double! You simply earn more by putting aside smaller amounts of money over a longer period of time.
