Data for RRSP contribution limits (also called RRSP room) are now available. Based on 1999 tax returns filed in the spring of 2000, this databank provides information on the RRSP contribution limit available to individuals for the 2000 tax year.
This databank consists of two tables, which include the amount of room available to taxfilers (new room, unused room and total room) and characteristics of taxfilers with new room for the 2000 tax year. New room is the maximum amount of dollars taxfilers are eligible to contribute to RRSPs during the 2000 tax year, based on their earned income in 1999.
The data are available for Canada, the provinces and territories, cities, towns, Census Metropolitan Areas, Census Divisions, as well as areas as small as forward sortation areas (the first three characters of the urban postal code) and letter carrier routes.
