Tax Considerations
- Roth IRA contributions are after-tax, so you effectively invest $5,320 of take-home money.
- Traditional IRA contributions may save you approximately $1,680 in taxes today.
- Roth withdrawals are tax-free if rules are met. Traditional withdrawals are taxed at your retirement rate (22% assumed here).
Your income is within the Roth IRA eligibility range for single filers. You can contribute the full amount if you meet other requirements.
