RRIF Minimum Withdrawal Calculator
Estimate how required RRIF minimum withdrawals can shift taxes, cash flow, and OAS clawback risk as you age.
Why RRIF minimums matter
After RRSP conversion, minimum RRIF withdrawals are mandatory and typically rise with age. In some plans, this creates taxable income higher than the spending gap.
That can increase tax drag and trigger more OAS clawback in later retirement years.
What to review in your results
- RRIF minimum at age 71 and how it changes after that
- Difference between required gross withdrawal and net spending need
- Whether clawback appears after RRIF minimums begin
- Whether depletion timing changes
