Roth IRA Calculator

See how a Roth IRA could grow over the years. Qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free.

Example Roth IRA balances

$7,000/year, 7%, 30 years$661,226

$5,000 start + $6,000/year, 7%, 20 years$265,321

How this calculator works

We grow your current balance at the return you enter and add one contribution at the end of each year. The 2026 IRS contribution limit used here is $7,500 for people under 50 (higher for 50 and older), and it is shared with any traditional IRA. Income limits can reduce or block Roth contributions, so check IRS rules.

FAQ

Why use a Roth IRA?

You pay tax on the money now, but growth and qualified withdrawals later are tax-free.

Is the return guaranteed?

No. Investment returns vary, and the result is only an estimate.

Who can contribute?

You need earned income, and high earners may be limited. See the IRS website for current limits.
