RESP Withdrawal Insights
The RESP Withdrawal calculator serves as a critical tool in navigating the complexities of withdrawing funds from a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP). This calculator provides a detailed breakdown of withdrawal amounts, taking into account various scenarios and considerations. For instance, if beneficiaries do not pursue post-secondary education by age 21 and the RESP has been active for at least ten years, the subscriber may withdraw the plan’s earnings. However, tax implications and penalties may apply depending on the withdrawal method chosen. The calculator also explores the option of transferring funds to an RRSP, offering insights into the potential benefits and implications of such a transfer.
