Most Canadians don't make the maximum RSP contribution they're entitled to make each year and miss out on the chance to reach their savings and retirement goals faster.
By bridging the gap between your current contribution level and the maximum contribution amount, you can reduce the amount of tax you pay and boost your retirement fund.

Personal loan payments can be monthly, weekly, bi-weekly and semi-monthly. Each payment consists of a portion of interest and a portion of principal. The proportion of interest is higher in the first payment, and it is reduced as the principal is repaid.

Interest is calculated daily on the outstanding principal balance and payable on a monthly basis.

Even if you’ve missed the chance to top up your RSP contributions in past years, you can catch up quickly with an RSP loan that will allow you to take advantage of income tax breaks and grow your retirement savings tax-free.

Using credit to contribute more money to your RSP may be the best way to build up your nest egg but consider these factors before making a decision.

• Age:
  Loans with a long payback period may not make sense close to retirement because the benefits are greatly reduced
• Ability to Repay:
  Don't borrow more than you can repay because it may make it difficult to save for the next year's RSP contribution.
• Ability to Borrow:
  An RSP loan will increase your debt service ratio, which may make you ineligible for additional loans down the road while this one is outstanding
