Pension Plans
Pension plans are usually classified as either defined benefit or defined
contribution according to how the payments are determined.
Individual RRSP
An Individual RRSP is associated with only a single individual; only they
contribute money to their RRSP.
Spousal RRSP
The spouse of the contributor is actually the account holder. A spousal
RRSP is a means of splitting income in retirement.
Group RRSP
An employer can arrange for employees to make contributions through a
schedule of regular payroll deductions. In many organizations RRSP
contributions can be based on a matching program. This means that the
employer will put in a certain percentage or dollar amount based on the
contributions the employee makes
The employee gets to receive the tax savings immediately at the time of
deduction instead of having to wait until the end of the tax year.
