★ TOOL · RRIF MIN. WITHDRAWAL CALCULATOR · 2026

Minimum RRIF withdrawal. By the year.

Once your RRSP converts to a RRIF (mandatory by Dec 31 of the year you turn 71), CRA requires a minimum withdrawal every year. The percentage climbs each year — from 5.28% at age 72 to 20% at age 95. This calculator uses the official federal table.
