Qualified withdrawals are tax-free once you are 59½ and the account is at least five years old. Contribution and income limits change; check the IRS figures for the current year.
How this calculator works
You contribute money you have already paid tax on. It grows, and qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free, growth included.
The calculator shows the tax you would owe on that growth in a regular taxable or traditional account, at the rate you enter.
Common questions
How much can I contribute to a Roth IRA?
The IRS sets a yearly limit, with a higher catch-up limit from age 50, and income limits on who can contribute directly. Check the current year's figures.
When can I withdraw?
Your own contributions can generally come out any time. Earnings are tax-free once you are 59½ and the account is at least five years old.
Roth or traditional IRA?
Roth suits people who expect a higher tax rate later; traditional suits those who expect a lower one.
