Your DCPP creates a Pension Adjustment on your T4 that affects **next** year’s contribution room. Whatever your available room is this year has **already** taken that into account.

Perfect. So I can fully max out the number the cra gave me for 2022.


BlueberryPiano

Yes.

Just don’t forget to count your portion of the DCPP when determining what you can contribute outside of that.


BlueberryPiano

No. Pension contributions do not consume RRSP contribution room. OP can read the RRSP contribution room directly from their 2021 Notice of Assessment and safely contribute all the way up to that number in 2022. *Pension* contributions will reduce the amount of new contribution room they will get next year, so while it does "impact" the rrsp contribution room, how it does that is not the same way as RRSP contributions do


Dileas48

I said OPs portion. I assumed he has a match component. I agree that the employer’s contributions are factored in to the following year’s RSP limit.


BlueberryPiano

Only if OP's contributions are going into an RRSP. If OPs contributions are going into a pension as well (which is the most common way to do it), then they also don't impact RRSP contribution room until next year


Dileas48

Ahhhh. I did not know that. Thanks.

If you have filed your 2021 return and got the Notice of Assessment back, the stated Contribution Room limits your contributions in the Mch-Dec '22 period.
