Shows the tax savings from the RRSP deduction specifically, using 2026 combined federal + provincial rates including Ontario surtax. Your T1 "refund" line will also reflect taxes withheld by your employer and non-refundable credits (medical, charitable donations, etc.) — those do not change the RRSP savings shown here. Use the optional fields to include other income or deductions that affect your marginal rate. Consult a tax professional for precise figures.
