Frequently asked questions
Why is a Roth IRA tax-free?
You contribute after-tax money, so qualified withdrawals in retirement — including all growth — come out completely tax-free.
Roth or Traditional IRA?
Roth wins if you expect a higher tax rate in retirement; Traditional gives an upfront deduction. Compare with the IRA Calculator.
