For example
Assuming an 8% return from interest, saving $2,000 per year will provide a portfolio valued at $157,909 at the end of 25 years. Unsheltered (Non-RRSP), however, would result in continuous tax-being paid over the investment period. Assuming a 40% marginal tax rate, the value of the portfolio would only be $97,321 - a $60,588 difference.
