Frequently Asked Questions

How does Canadian mortgage compounding differ from the US? ▼

In Canada, fixed-rate mortgages compound semi-annually by law, whereas US mortgages compound monthly. This slight difference produces marginally lower effective interest in Canada for the same nominal APR.

What is the RRSP contribution deadline? ▼

RRSP contributions made within the first 60 days of the calendar year can be deducted against the prior tax year income.
