Bar chart of the annual Tax-Free Savings Account contribution limit for each year from 2009 to 2026.

The annual Tax-Free Savings Account limit is set to rise to $7,500 in 2027, based on the Canada Revenue Agency's indexation formula and inflation data already published. The formula compares average consumer prices over two 12-month periods ending each September, and this year's comparison already clears the threshold for an increase. Official confirmation usually arrives late in the year. Cumulative room for someone eligible since 2009 reaches $109,000 in 2026.
