About Loonies & Sense

Free Canadian financial calculators and education built by Canadians, for Canadians.

We're on a mission to empower every Canadian with the knowledge and tools they need to make confident financial decisions.

Built for Canadians

Every calculator uses official CRA formulas, current tax rates, and Canadian government benefit calculations. From TFSA vs RRSP to CPP/OAS timing, we speak Canadian.

Always Free

All calculators are free to use with no registration required. Want to track your learning progress? Create a free account, but you'll never pay a cent.

Regularly Updated

We monitor government sources and update our calculators when tax rates, benefit amounts, or contribution limits change. Every calculator shows when it was last updated.

Why We Exist

Most financial calculators are built for Americans. Canadians deserve better.

The Problem

Try searching for a TFSA calculator online. Most tools have no idea what a TFSA is. Want to compare salary vs dividends for tax optimization? You'll find American S-Corp calculators that don't apply to Canada.

Our tax system is different. Our retirement accounts work differently. Our government benefits have unique rules.

The Solution

Loonies & Sense was built specifically for Canada's financial system. We use real Canadian tax brackets, actual CRA formulas, and official government benefit calculations.

Everything is in Canadian dollars, references Canadian institutions, and accounts for Canadian regulations. No more guessing or adapting American tools.
