Frequently asked questions

Is a Roth IRA better than a traditional IRA or 401(k)?+

It depends on whether you expect to be in a higher or lower tax bracket in retirement than you are now — Roth is generally more valuable if you expect higher future taxes (common for younger, lower-earning savers), traditional if you expect lower future taxes.

What are the Roth IRA income limits?+

The IRS phases out your ability to contribute directly above certain income thresholds, which are adjusted annually and differ by filing status — check current IRS limits, since exceeding them without using a 'backdoor Roth' conversion can trigger penalties.

Can I withdraw my contributions early without penalty?+

Yes — you can withdraw your original contributions (not the growth) from a Roth IRA at any time, tax- and penalty-free, since you already paid tax on that money. Withdrawing earnings early is what typically triggers taxes and a 10% penalty, with some exceptions.
