This limit corresponds to your RRSP contribution room, which represents 18% of your income earned in the previous year or the annual contribution limit for the current year, i.e. $31,560 in 2024.
However, if you participate in an employer pension plan, your contribution room will be reduced by the amount of your pension adjustment. Usually, this represents the amount you and your employer contributed to your pension plan during the year.
If a portion of your contribution room from past years has not been used, it gets added to your contribution room for the following years.
Consult your Canada Revenue Agency notice of assessment to find out your contribution room.
