Traditional IRAs grow tax-deferred. Contributions may be deductible depending on income and workplace plan coverage. Enter deposits, return, and years to see pre-tax balance and estimated after-tax value using your assumed retirement tax rate.

Traditional IRA Projection

Traditional IRAs grow tax-deferred. Contributions may be deductible depending on income and workplace plan coverage. Enter deposits, return, and years to see pre-tax balance and estimated after-tax value using your assumed retirement tax rate.

Required Minimum Distributions

Traditional IRAs require RMDs starting at age 73 (SECURE 2.0 rules). Roth IRAs have no RMDs during the owner's lifetime. Plan withdrawals with the RMD Calculator.

Rollovers

Rolling old 401(k) balances into an IRA consolidates accounts and expands investment choices. Confirm fees and investment options before moving employer plan money.

Formula

Traditional IRA: pre-tax contributions, tax-deferred growth, after-tax value = balance * (1 - retirement tax rate). Roth: after-tax contributions, tax-free growth. Taxable: after-tax contributions with tax drag on returns.
