First Home Savings Account (FHSA) in Canada
Save for your first home with the best of both worlds: tax-deductible contributions and tax-free withdrawals.
What is an FHSA?
The First Home Savings Account (FHSA) is Canada's newest and most powerful savings tool for first-time home buyers. It combines the best features of both RRSPs and TFSAs: contributions are tax-deductible (like an RRSP), and withdrawals for your first home are completely tax-free (like a TFSA).
This is a game-changer for aspiring homeowners. You can contribute up to $8,000 per year (lifetime maximum of $40,000) and get immediate tax refunds. Then, when you're ready to buy your first home, withdraw every dollar tax-free to use for your down payment.
The FHSA is only available to first-time home buyers, and the clock is ticking. You have 15 years from opening the account to use it, so starting early gives your investments more time to grow before you buy your home.
Why You Need an FHSA
Save Faster for Your Down Payment
Contribute up to $8,000/year and watch your savings grow tax-free, accelerating your path to homeownership.
Get Immediate Tax Refunds
Every dollar you contribute reduces your taxable income, putting money back in your pocket to save even more.
Tax-Free Investment Growth
Your investments inside the FHSA grow tax-free, maximizing your down payment fund.
Tax-Free Withdrawal for Home Purchase
When you buy your first home, withdraw every dollar completely tax-free—no strings attached.
Combine with RRSP Home Buyers' Plan
Use both your FHSA ($40,000 tax-free) and RRSP Home Buyers' Plan ($35,000) for up to $75,000 for your down payment.
Flexible Investment Options
Invest in stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, or GICs inside your FHSA to grow your savings faster than a regular savings account.
