Common questions
How accurate are these calculators?
They are planning estimates, not tax returns or lender approvals. MoneyMapCanada uses current published federal and provincial rates and payroll limits, but credits, deductions, benefits, pension contributions and personal circumstances can change the final result.
What is the Canadian mortgage stress test?
For federally regulated lenders, borrowers are generally qualified at the higher of 5.25% or the contract mortgage rate plus 2 percentage points. The affordability calculator also considers debt-service ratios and housing costs.
What is the 2026 TFSA annual limit?
The 2026 TFSA annual dollar limit is $7,000. Your actual available contribution room depends on age, Canadian tax residency, prior contributions and withdrawals, so confirm your room with CRA My Account.
What is the 2026 RRSP dollar limit?
The 2026 RRSP dollar limit is $33,810, but your personal deduction limit is based on prior-year earned income, pension adjustments and unused room. Use your latest CRA notice of assessment for your exact limit.
How does CPP work in 2026?
For 2026, the CPP year's maximum pensionable earnings is $74,600 and the additional maximum pensionable earnings is $85,000. The maximum new CPP retirement pension at age 65 for January 2026 is $1,507.65 per month; actual benefits depend on contribution history and start age.
Do the salary calculators work for Quebec?
Yes. Quebec uses QPP instead of CPP and has Quebec-specific income tax and payroll rules. The salary calculator applies a Quebec-specific estimate, including QPP and QPIP where modeled.
Disclaimer: All calculators are educational planning estimates, not financial, tax, investment or mortgage advice.
