What is ROTH IRA?

Like a brokerage account, you can invest in stocks, bonds, and funds. However, it's specifically designed for retirement savings.

Why should you open ROTH IRA?

Here are the top benefits of ROTH IRA.

  • Tax-Free Growth & Withdrawals:

    • The primary benefit is the potential for tax-free growth and withdrawals.

    • Contributions and earnings grow tax-free within the account.

    • If you meet the eligibility requirements (age 59 1/2 and the account has been open for at least five years), you can withdraw your contributions and earnings tax-free in retirement.

  • Potential for Higher Tax Bracket in Retirement:

    • If you expect to be in a higher tax bracket in retirement, withdrawing funds tax-free from a Roth IRA can result in substantial tax savings.

  • Flexibility and Control:

    • You have more control over when and how you withdraw funds from a Roth IRA.

    • There are no required minimum distributions (RMDs), unlike Traditional IRAs.
