About this calculator

What is the RRSP Home Buyers' Plan (HBP) limit in Canada?+

The HBP limit was raised to $35,000 per person in Budget 2024 (up from $25,000). Joint buyers can each withdraw $35,000 for a combined maximum of $70,000.

How long do I have to repay my HBP withdrawal?+

You have 15 years to repay. Repayments begin 2 years after the year you made the withdrawal. Each year, you must contribute 1/15th of the withdrawn amount back to your RRSP. If you miss a year, that 1/15th is added to your taxable income.

Can I use both the HBP and FHSA together?+

Yes. You can combine the RRSP HBP ($35,000 per person) with your FHSA balance ($40,000 lifetime maximum) for a total of up to $75,000 per person in tax-sheltered funds toward your first home โ€” $150,000 as a couple.

What are the eligibility rules for the HBP?+

You must be a first-time buyer (no home owned in the past 4 calendar years). Your RRSP must have been open for at least 2 years. Funds must have been in the RRSP for at least 90 days before the HBP withdrawal. The home must be intended as your principal residence.

What happens if I miss an HBP repayment?+

If you do not make the minimum annual repayment (1/15th of the withdrawal), that missed amount is included in your taxable income for that year. You will receive a T4RSP slip showing the income inclusion amount.
