How it works

Formula & explanation

Roth IRA Calculator uses the following calculation:

FV = P(1+i)n + PMT × [ (1+i)n−1 ] / i

This is a simplified model intended for planning and education. Real-world offers from lenders, institutions, or tax authorities may include additional fees, rules, or adjustments not reflected here.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the benefit of a Roth IRA?

Qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free, since contributions are made with after-tax dollars.

Are there income limits on Roth IRA contributions?

Yes — the IRS phases out eligibility to contribute directly above certain income thresholds, which change annually.

What's the annual contribution limit?

The IRS sets a combined traditional + Roth IRA limit each year, plus a catch-up amount for those 50 and older — check current limits before contributing.
