First Home Savings Account (FHSA) | Tax-Free Home Savings | DMPG

Plan Your First Home
In Canada With The FHSA

The First Home Savings Account (FHSA) is a powerful registered savings plan designed specifically to help Canadians buy their first home. It elegantly combines the best features of both an RRSP and a TFSA.

You can contribute up to $8,000 per year, with a lifetime limit of $40,000. Your contributions are completely tax-deductible (like an RRSP), reducing your taxable income and potentially triggering a tax refund.

Inside the account, your investments grow completely tax-free. When you are ready to buy your qualifying first home, your withdrawals—including all the investment gains—are 100% tax-free (like a TFSA). It is the ultimate tool to fast-track your down payment.
