If you are earning $40,000 a year, you paid about 35.5 per cent tax on your last $4,000 of earnings. If you contribute that $4,000 to an RRSP, you will reduce your taxable income by $4,000 and reduce your total income tax by 35.5 per cent of that $4,000, or about $1,420. Those are a lot of numbers to throw at you, but the important thing to remember is that using the RRSP as a savings vehicle harnesses tax dollars to help. (Keep in mind that if your taxable income is below $10,000, you are likely not paying any tax and will receive no tax saving for the RRSP contribution.)

The TFSA, the new budget's signature feature, is little more than taxpayer-subsidized mad money for the well-to-do. Here's what the government's own blurb has to say about it: "TFSA savings can be used to purchase a new car, renovate a house, start a small business or take a family vacation...Unused TFSA contribution room can be carried forward to future years. You can withdraw funds from the TFSA at any time for any purpose. The amount withdrawn can be put back in the TFSA at a later date without reducing your contribution room... Even the Royal Bank wasn't impressed. While applauding as "helpful" anything that boosts savings, the budget commentary by Canada's largest bank says the TFSA is geared towards middle and upper-income earners and unlikely to boost overall savings.
