- 2020: $7,000, 2021: $7,000 (age 50 or older)
Roth IRA contribution limits and eligibility are based on your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI), depending on tax-filing status. Partial contributions are allowed for certain income ranges.

If you are covered by a retirement plan at work, you can make a full or partially deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA, based on your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI).
And starting in 2020, as long as you are still working, there is no age limit to be able to contribute to a Traditional IRA. The Secure Act, signed into law on December 20, 2019, removed the age limit in which an individual can contribute to an IRA. The top age prior to the law was 70½.
