.
Thanks for that Norman.

Projecting further to Jan. 2023, buy taking a 'Rough' Guess at what the Average inflation rate might end up being for All of 2022 (~ 6.5% ?), I don't see the TFSA limit going any higher than $6,500 for next year.

Sorry, I don't have a crystal ball ... that's just a Guesstimate.

Others may differ. Anyone else care to try ? sf-smile

CPI for October 2020 to September 2021 is 140.0.

CPI so far, from October 2021 to May 2022, is 146.9.

Those would take the raw new contribution room to

$6,163 * 146.9/140.0 = $6467.

It will depend on how CPI will be from now to September.

Since January, CPI has been advancing at a rate of about 13.7% per annum. That could change significantly if we have supply chain issues like poor harvests this fall and Russian foodstuff embargos continue.

Thanks for the update Norman.

Based on these numbers, there would need to be a minimum 5.7% indexation for 2025 for the limit to be raised to $7500 in 2025.

Or a change on government to the Conservatives. I suspect it's quite likely the Conservatives will include in their campaign promises to restore the $10,000 annual TFSA contribution limit, which wouldn't be as costly when it was still $5,000 per year under the Liberals, as it's been boosted to $7,000 thanks to indexation. sf-cool

Cheers,
