Formula

How Roth IRA growth is estimated

The calculator compounds your current Roth IRA balance and annual contributions until retirement, then estimates tax-free retirement income using the withdrawal rate you enter.

Future Roth balance = current balance growth + annual contributions + tax-free investment growth
Monthly tax-free income = projected Roth balance × withdrawal rate ÷ 12

Planning

Why Roth tax treatment matters

Roth IRA contributions are made after tax, so the calculator focuses on future tax-free value, contribution eligibility assumptions, Roth versus Traditional tradeoffs, and Roth conversion tax impact.

Roth vs. Traditional advantage = Roth after-tax value − Traditional after-tax value
Conversion impact = Roth future value − Traditional after-tax future value − tax opportunity cost
