2023-2024 Roth IRA Contribution Limits
Open a Roth IRA and take advantage of after-tax benefits as you save for retirement.
Roth IRA contributions are made on an after-tax basis or through a 529 rollover starting in 2024. However, keep in mind that your eligibility to contribute to a Roth IRA is based on your income level. If you file taxes as a single person, your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) must be under $153,000 for tax year 2023 and $161,000 for tax year 2024 to contribute to a Roth IRA, and if you're married and file jointly, your MAGI must be under $228,000 for tax year 2023 and $240,000 for tax year 2024. The maximum total annual contribution for all your IRAs combined is:
- Tax Year 2023 - $6,500 if you're under age 50 / $7,500 if you're age 50 or older.
- Tax Year 2024 - $7,000 if you're under age 50 / $8,000 if you're age 50 or older.
With the passage of SECURE 2.0 Act, effective 1/1/2024 you may also be eligible to contribute to your Roth IRA using 529 rollover assets. Traditional IRAs do not qualify for this option. Consult with your tax advisor for guidance on your eligibility.
