Retirement

Roth IRA

A Roth IRA uses after-tax contributions; qualified withdrawals in retirement are tax-free. There's no deduction for contributions, but growth and withdrawals escape taxes. Income limits restrict who can contribute directly.

Example

Contribute $6,000 post-tax; it grows to $30,000 tax-free in retirement.
