RRSP, TFSA, OAS, CPP, CCB, Tax and Benefit Numbers For 2024

Published:

Fact Checked

The Canada Revenue Agency recently revealed the inflation rate or indexation factor (4.7%) that will be used to determine key personal income tax and benefit numbers for 2024.

With inflation remaining high in 2023, we are seeing noticeable increases in some of the amounts and limits.

Here are the updated RRSP, TFSA, CCB, CPP amounts and other numbers to get you started for your savings, retirement, and tax return filing efforts in 2024.

2024 TFSA Contribution Limit

The TFSA numbers kept steady at $6,000 for four years between 2019 and 2022. This lack of change was due to how the TFSA limit is calculated – i.e. annually indexed to inflation and rounded off to the nearest $500.

The TFSA contribution limit increased to $6,500 in 2023, and for 2024, it has increased to $7,000. If you’ve never contributed to the TFSA and have been eligible since 2009, your total contribution room increases to $95,000.

2024 RRSP Limit

The maximum RRSP contribution allowable in 2024 is the lower of $31,560 or 18% of your earned income in 2023. If you have any workplace pension, this amount may be further reduced by a pension adjustment.

The limit was a maximum of $30,780 for 2023.

The total amount you will receive will depend on the number of children and your family’s net income. A phase-out of benefits starts when your family’s net income exceeds $34,863.

2024 Employment Insurance (EI) Rate and Maximum

The maximum annual insurable earning for 2024 is $63,200 ($61,500 for 2023), with EI premiums payable at a rate of 1.66%.

This means that the maximum annual employee premium for 2024 is $1,049.12. The maximum annual employer premium is $1,468.77 for 2024.

2024 CPP Contribution and Payout Amounts

CPP contributions are paid by you and your employer every year on income earned up to a certain amount, referred to as the Maximum Contributory Earnings (MCE).

The maximum contributory earnings for the year are calculated by deducting the basic exemption amount ($3,500) from the maximum pensionable amount ($68,500) for the year.

For 2024, the MCE is $65,000, up from $63,100 in 2023. Therefore, the maximum employee contribution to CPP for 2024 is $3,867.50 (at a 5.95% contribution rate).

The maximum CPP contribution in 2024 for self-employed individuals is $7,735.

The maximum monthly CPP paid out to seniors in 2024 is $1,364.60. However, the average monthly pension is lower for new beneficiaries at $758.32.

2024 OAS Maximum and Clawback

For the first quarter of 2024 (January to March), the maximum monthly OAS benefit at 65 years is $713.34, and $784.67 for those aged 75 and over.

OAS clawback starts when your net income is $81,761, and you will receive no OAS if your income exceeds $142,609 (age 65 to 74) or $148,179 (age 75 and over). The OAS amount is adjusted for inflation every three months.

  • Maximum GIS amount for a single individual: $1,065.47
  • Maximum GIS amount to a senior who has a spouse also receiving OAS: $641.35

    Happy New Year, Steve! Agreed, our inflation numbers definitely feel higher than 1.5% as well. LOL. Thanks for your kind words – I’m glad you enjoyed the retirement guide.

    Enoch, lots of useful information. Thank you.

    In answer to your question “Are there numbers you would like us to include?”, I have two suggestions: 1) The percentage increase in CPP before you start receiving CPP and no more contributions are being made e.g. early retirement, and 2) the percentage increase when receiving CPP.

    Pre-receipt of CPP increase is 3.27% [five-year YMPE average], in Excel for 2022:
    =((55900-55300)/55300+(57400-55900)/55900+(58700-57400)/57400+(61600-58700)/58700+(64900-61600)/61600)/5

    In-receipt of CPP increase is 2.7% [(Average CPI Nov 2020-Oct 2021 / Average 2019-Oct 2020)-1], in Excel for 2022:
    =ROUND((137.7+137.4+138.2+138.9+139.6+140.3+141+141.4+142.3+142.6+142.9+143.9)/(136.4+136.4+136.8+137.4+136.6+135.7+136.1+137.2+137.2+137+136.9+137.5),3)-1

    Although I can start receiving CPP in December, it could be worth delaying a month to pickup the higher pre-receipt of CPP increase, depending on what the numbers look like at the time.

    I’m not an expert, so I cannot guarantee that the above is 100% correct, for example, rounding to the correct number of decimal places.
