Using the TFSA vs Taxable Investment calculator is an invaluable tool for comparing the potential growth of a Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) against a taxable investment. By comparing these two investment types, you can clearly see how the tax-free growth of a TFSA contrasts with the growth of a taxable account, which is subject to capital gains taxes, eligible dividends, and interest income.
This TFSA vs Taxable Income calculator takes into account various factors such as your province of residence, the initial amount you invest in the TFSA, annual contributions, and the number of years you plan to invest. Additionally, it incorporates your expected rate of return, providing a detailed projection of how your investments will grow over time.

Use the calculator offers a breakdown of how different types of income—interest, eligible dividends, and capital gains—are taxed in a taxable account versus the tax-free status of a TFSA. This breakdown is crucial for understanding how each type of investment income impacts your overall returns. For instance, interest income is typically taxed at a higher rate than capital gains or dividends, and this difference can significantly influence your investment strategy. By analyzing these factors, you can better appreciate how the tax advantages of a TFSA can enhance your investment growth compared to a taxable account.
