Roth IRA Contribution Details
The amount you can invest to a Roth IRA depends on how much modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) you earn and the contribution limits set by the IRS. These limits can change each year. Also, if you have reached age 50 on or before December 31 of the year in which the contribution is being made, you may be eligible to contribute an additional amount called a “catch-up” contribution of $1,000. However, your Roth IRA contribution can’t exceed your earned income for that tax year. The maximum eligible contribution is $6,500 for 2023 and $7,000 for 2024.
Please refer to the Roth IRA tax year contribution limits to determine if you are eligible to contribute. Your exact contribution amount can be calculated using the worksheets found in IRS Publication 590.
