Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF)

A RRIF provides you with the flexibility to make withdrawals on a schedule tailored to your unique retirement needs.

This allows you to be strategic with withdrawals based on a range of factors, such as your spouse’s age, planned large withdrawals, and minimizing your taxes.

How RRIFs work

  • A RRIF is a tax-advantaged savings vehicle in which you may hold eligible investment products.
  • You withdraw from your RRIF to support your retirement.
  • You can manage your RRIF in the same way you managed your RRSP, while paying yourself to support your retirement.
  • Investments within a RRSP can grow on a tax-deferred basis.
  • RRSPs must be converted to a form of retirement income by December 31 of the year you turn 71.
  • If you have a Locked-In Retirement Account (LIRA), Locked-In RRSP (LRRSP ) or Restricted Locked-in Savings Plan (RLSP), you may be able to convert to one of the following plans: Life Income Fund (LIF), Locked-In Retirement Income Fund (LRIF), Prescribed Retirement Income Fund (PRIF), or Restricted Life Income Fund (RLIF).

Benefits of RRIFs

Grow your savings tax-deferred

Your RRIF can continue to grow tax-deferred, similar to an RRSP.

Personalized to your needs

RRIF’s can allow for flexibility and customization, helping ensure your retirement can be a comfortable one.

Simplicity and flexibility

When you convert your RRSP to a RRIF, you can base the annual payments on your spouse's age which could reduce the annual withdrawal amounts.
