Advanced IRA Calculator

Estimate your retirement savings with Traditional and Roth IRA, including taxes, inflation, withdrawals, and long-term growth.

Formulas Used

  • Compound Growth:
  • FV = P × (1 + r)^t
  • With Contributions:
  • FV = P × (1 + r)^t + C × [(1 + r)^t − 1] / r
  • Real Return:
  • Real Rate = (Return − Inflation)
  • Required Minimum Distribution (RMD):
  • RMD = Balance / Life Expectancy Factor
  • Tax Adjustment:
  • After Tax = Withdrawal × (1 − tax rate)
