What are the benefits of an FHSA?
The FHSA combines the advantages of both the TFSA and RRSP:
-
Contributions reduce your taxable income (like an RRSP)
-
Interest earned is tax-free (like a TFSA)
-
Qualifying withdrawals are tax-free1 and don’t need to be repaid (like a TFSA)
Who’s eligible for an FHSA?
You can open an FHSA if you:
-
Are a Canadian resident
-
Are aged 18 - 71
-
Are a first-time homebuyer2

What are the contribution guidelines?
You can contribute up to $8,000 annually—with a lifetime contribution limit of $40,000. Any unused contribution room can carry forward to the following year up to a maximum of $8,000.
For example, if you contribute $5,000 to your FHSA in 2023, you’ll be allowed to contribute $11,000 in 2024.
Any contributions over the $8,000 annual limit (except for any unused portions from the previous year) will be penalized 1% on the highest excess amount in the month, for each month that the excess remains in your account.
