| Age Under 50 | $5,500 | $6000 |
| Age 50 and Over | $6,500 | $7000 |
Roth IRAs
Roth IRA contributions are made with after-tax dollars. Funds are tax-free when they are withdrawn, unless you are taxed for early withdrawals penalties before age 59 ½. As long as you have earned income, contributions can be made at any age.
