Retirement for two: Spousal RRSP is now available on moomoo
Hello mooers:
Since the launch of the registered account in early 2024, moomoo has been flooded with requests for the
Spousal RRSP (SRRSP) account. We have a progressive tax system in Canada. That means tax rates go up as personal income increases.
Federal taxes on any income you earn in 2025. For instance, in 2025, your first $57,375 gets a gentle
15% federal tax. But earn over $253,414? Brace yourself for a whopping
33% marginal rate! And when you add provincial taxes, you could be looking at a jaw-dropping
50%+ rate!
When there's a significant income disparity between spouses, the
combined tax burden could be higher than for couples with the same total household income but more evenly distributed earnings. Ouch!
Enter
the
SRRSP (Spousal Registered Retirement Savings Plan), this magical account works twofold, both presently and in the future:
Firstly, it allows the higher-earning spouse to
reduce their taxable income in the contribution year, similar to regular RRSP contributions.
Secondly, it helps
balance the couple's retirement income, potentially placing both partners in comparable tax brackets. This strategy aims to equalize tax payments and potentially lower the couple's overall tax liability in retirement.
Here's the kicker: The spousal RRSP belongs to the lower-earning spouse, and contributions to the SRRSP are made by the higher-earning spouse, and are based on that person’s RRSP contribution room. This is handy because the SRRSP deduction will
reduce the higher-income earner’s taxable income and reduce their taxes.
Unlock your SRRSP account in 3 easy steps!
1. Go to 'Accounts', click 'Adding Accounts' to our 'Open Account' page. (or you can find it by clicking ‘All’)
2. Spot the shiny new SRRSP card - it's hard to miss!
3. Click '
Next' and voilà! You're on your way to SRRSP bliss.

Bravo Jordan : I open a spousal RRSP through Moomoo. It means that we can BOTH withdraw 25K if we want to buy a house through Home Buyer's Plan
WeedStreet : It is a good idea to balance out accounts..
AgueroMbappe WeedStreet : I make 100% of the income in the household and am looking like a way to handle retirement savings in a reasonable way. That helps a lot.!!!!
Samanthaa : My husband doesn’t have a job. In next couple of years I will have maximized my rrsp into the spousal contribution. After 4 years it can be withdrawn as his income , which I’ll withdraw at about 20k or so to pay less tax. Hopefully over a few years it’ll go into a tfsa. This is a pretty long winded strategy but would work in a single income household.
