ContributionsEarnings
About Roth IRAs: Contributions are made with after-tax dollars, and qualified withdrawals in retirement — including all growth — are tax-free. For 2025 the contribution limit is $7,000 ($8,000 if age 50+), subject to income limits. This projection assumes a steady annual return and constant contributions; real returns vary. Not tax or investment advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much will my Roth IRA be worth?

Your future Roth IRA balance depends on your current balance, annual contributions, expected return, and years until retirement. Because growth compounds tax-free, decades of modest contributions can grow into a large, fully tax-free balance. Enter your numbers above to project it.

What is the 2025 Roth IRA contribution limit?

For 2025 you can contribute up to $7,000, or $8,000 if you're age 50 or older (the extra $1,000 is a catch-up contribution). These limits apply across all your IRAs combined and are subject to income phase-outs.

How is a Roth IRA taxed?

You contribute with after-tax money, so contributions aren't deductible. In return, qualified withdrawals in retirement — both your contributions and all investment earnings — are completely tax-free, as long as you're 59½ and the account has been open at least five years.

Roth IRA vs Traditional IRA — which is better?

A Roth is generally better if you expect to be in the same or a higher tax bracket in retirement, since you lock in today's tax rate and withdraw tax-free later. A Traditional IRA gives you a deduction now but taxes withdrawals later. Many people use a mix.

Are there income limits for contributing to a Roth IRA?

Yes. For 2025, the ability to contribute directly phases out at higher modified adjusted gross incomes (roughly $150,000–$165,000 for single filers and $236,000–$246,000 for married filing jointly). Higher earners sometimes use a 'backdoor' Roth strategy.

What return should I assume?

Use a realistic long-term return for a diversified portfolio — many people model 6–8% annually. Lower assumptions give a more conservative estimate. Actual returns vary year to year and are never guaranteed.
