Roth IRA vs IRA
What Are Roth IRAs and IRAs?
An IRA is an individual retirement account. There are two main types of IRAs, an IRA and a Roth IRA. Both allow you to save and invest money towards your retirement. You get to pick what stocks, mutual funds, bonds, etc. to invest in and how much money you wish to invest in each for both types of IRAs. The maximum contributions you can make annually to your retirement account is currently $6,000 if you are less than 50 years old or $7,000 if you are 50 years or older.
However, there are a few key differences between the two.
IRAs
A traditional IRA allows you to contribute money to your retirement. That money is non-taxable income during the year you contribute it. It will be taxed when you take the amount out when you retire at your tax rate at the time of retirement. All growth of your investments is tax-deferred.
Roth IRAs
Roth IRAs allow you to contribute towards your retirement at your current tax rate. You pay taxes on it now and when you withdraw it after the age of 59 and a half, it is tax-free income. Your money grows tax-free, you are free to invest it as you see fit, and this is a great option for individuals who expect to be in a higher tax bracket upon retirement.
