Run the numbers first — then decide what deserves a closer look

Canada has no tax formally called an estate tax — but death can still trigger deemed dispositions and other income inclusions, and the bill arrives before the cash does. Estimate the potential bill, and whether liquid assets would cover it.

When you cease to be a Canadian tax resident, certain property is deemed sold at fair market value. Which assets may be on the list, and how big the bill runs — a three-minute estimate.

No plans to move to the U.S.? Certain U.S. assets may still create estate-tax filing obligations or exposure. Account type and treaty rules can change the result — estimate what may apply.

Assets in one currency, future spending in another — you may be carrying a currency risk you never chose to take. Lay both sides out on one table.

If life doesn't follow the plan — markets down for years, rates up, a longer life than expected — does your structure still stand?

Pick a real property crash. See how prices fell and recovered — and how your down payment changes your home equity.

Put a portfolio through real historical crashes — see how far it falls, and how long recovery takes.

One sum, one century, six asset classes — real paths, real crashes, no forecasts.

What is "don't put all your eggs in one basket" actually worth? See for yourself, in the data.

A 2% annual fee doesn't sound like much — until you see what it compounds to over thirty years. See the long-term cost of fees.

The 2% inflation assumption in most plans reflects a national average basket — your household's looks different. Estimate a rate closer to how you actually live.
