How an FHSA Could Fund Your First Home

How an FHSA Could Fund Your First Home

Did you know, if you qualify, a First Home Savings Account (FHSA) could help you build the minimum down payment for a million-dollar home?

The FHSA combines features of an RRSP and TFSA, including tax deductible contributions and tax-free withdrawals when used for a qualifying home purchase.

If you contribute the maximum $8,000 a year for five years and let those savings grow over the full 15 years, you could build nearly $75,605 assuming a 5% annual rate of return.
