How to read the result

What it means
The displayed value is an estimate based on your inputs. It represents the calculated scenario under current assumptions, not a guaranteed amount.

Methodology

The calculator implements the standard HBP repayment approach used by the Canada Revenue Agency: HBP withdrawals are typically repaid to your RRSP over a 15-year period (equal annual installments).

Calculations shown: eligible-limit check (common statutory limit per person), standard annual repayment = withdrawal_amount / 15, remaining balance = withdrawal_amount − repayments_made_to_date, and the required repayment for the next year (the smaller of the standard annual installment or remaining balance).

Note: This tool provides estimates. Confirm your personal HBP obligations on your CRA My Account or with a qualified tax advisor.

Glossary+
Home Buyers' Plan (HBP)

A Canada Revenue Agency program that allows eligible individuals to withdraw funds from their RRSP to buy or build a first home, subject to repayment rules.

Standard annual repayment

The HBP annual repayment typically equals the total withdrawn under HBP divided by 15 (the standard repayment term).

Remaining balance

The outstanding amount of your original HBP withdrawal that has not yet been repaid to your RRSP.

Key takeaways

This calculator focuses on Canadian HBP rules: checks withdrawals against the common $35,000 per-person threshold, computes the standard 15-year annual repayment, and shows remaining balance after repayments.

Use it for planning and to estimate your annual RRSP repayments under the HBP. For account-level confirmation, consult CRA or your tax advisor.

Worked examples

Example 1 — New HBP withdrawal with no repayments yet

You withdrew $30,000 under the HBP this year and have made no repayments yet.

Interpretation

Standard annual repayment = $30,000 / 15 = $2,000. Remaining balance = $30,000. Required repayment for next year = $2,000.

Example 2 — Mid-schedule with partial repayments

You withdrew $15,000 and have repaid $6,000 to date, 5 full years after the first withdrawal.

Interpretation

Standard annual repayment = $1,000. Remaining balance = $9,000. Required repayment for next year = $1,000 (until remaining balance is less than the standard installment).

Frequently asked questions

What is the typical per-person HBP withdrawal limit?

The common per-person HBP limit used by many taxpayers and referenced in CRA materials is $35,000. Confirm current limits and your eligibility on the CRA HBP page.

How is the annual HBP repayment calculated?

The standard approach is to divide your total HBP withdrawal by 15 to get the annual required repayment. If you have already repaid part of the withdrawal, the remaining balance is reduced accordingly.

What happens if I don't make the required repayment in a year?

If you do not repay the required annual amount, the missed repayment is generally included in your income for that tax year and subject to tax. Check CRA guidance and speak with a tax professional for personal implications.

Does this calculator replace official CRA guidance?

No. This calculator provides estimates only. Always verify your specific obligations and account details with CRA My Account or a qualified tax advisor.
