This IRA calculator projects the growth of your Individual Retirement Account over time, whether you choose a Traditional IRA with tax-deferred contributions and taxable withdrawals, or a Roth IRA with after-tax contributions and tax-free qualified withdrawals. The calculator demonstrates how consistent annual contributions combined with compound investment returns can grow into substantial retirement savings over 30+ year horizons. You can compare different contribution amounts, expected rates of return, and retirement ages to understand how your IRA balance might evolve. The tool also helps illustrate the significant tax advantages of tax-advantaged retirement accounts compared to taxable brokerage accounts, showing how reinvesting dividends and avoiding annual capital gains taxes accelerates wealth accumulation.
Result: Starting at 30 with $10,000 and contributing $6,500/year at 7% returns, your IRA would grow to approximately $1,073,000 by age 65. Your total contributions would be $227,500 over 35 years — the remaining $845,000 comes from investment growth.
