A Roth IRA can be a powerful way to save for retirement since potential earnings grow tax-free. Additionally, you don't have to pay taxes when you make qualified withdrawals.1

With Fidelity, you have a broad range of investment options, including an option to have us manage your money for you. You'll get exceptional service as well as planning and guidance support.

Step 1: Confirm the Roth is right for you

Tax benefits

Any potential earnings grow tax-free and may not be taxed when you withdraw money in retirement.1

Access to your money

You can withdraw your contributions at any time, for any reason, without taxes or penalties.

Flexibility

As long as you have earned income (up to the limit set by the IRS), you can contribute to a Roth IRA.

Why you may want to consider other options

Roth IRAs have income limits: As your income increases, the amount you can contribute gradually decreases to zero. You can use our IRA Contribution Calculator or our Roth vs. traditional IRA comparison page to see what option might be right for you.
