Kaan, a 55-year-old software engineer, earned a pre-tax income of $200,000 in 2024. He plans to quit his current job in 10 years to start his own business. Kaan already holds several accounts with RBC but intends to open new TFSA, RRSP, and non-registered investment accounts with TD Bank. He will allocate funds in TD Bank for his business venture while reserving funds in RBC for emergencies and retirement. Kaan has the capacity to save $100,000 annually in real, before tax dollars and will only deposit to TD bank accounts from now on until retirement. His savings strategy includes contributions to a TFSA, RRSP, and non-registered investment account at TD Bank. In 2024, he will contribute to the TFSA up to the 2024 annual limit, with contributions increasing annually to match the inflation rate. The RRSP contribution remains fixed at $20,000 in real dollars due to employer contributions. Any remaining savings are directed to the non-registered investment account. Contributions occur at year-end. Kaan is predicted to have a marginal tax rate of 50% indefinitely. The inflation rate is 1.5%, and the nominal rate of return on all investments is 6%. Kaan plans to withdraw the full amount from each account after 10 years. Assume TFSA and RRSP contribution limit to increase every year exactly matching inflation.

Kaan, a 55-year-old software engineer, earned a pre-tax income of $200,000 in 2024. He plans to quit his current job in 10 years to start his own business. Kaan already holds several accounts with RBC but intends to open new TFSA, RRSP, and non-registered investment accounts with TD Bank. He will allocate funds in TD Bank for his business venture while reserving funds in RBC for emergencies and retirement. Kaan has the capacity to save $100,000 annually in real, before tax dollars and will only deposit to TD bank accounts from now on until retirement.

Contributions occur at year-end. Kaan is predicted to have a marginal tax rate of 50% indefinitely. The inflation rate is 1.5%, and the nominal rate of return on all investments is 6%. Kaan plans to withdraw the full amount from each account after 10 years.
