Understanding the Roth IRA Retirement Plan - Introduction, Contribution Limits, Advantages/Disadvantages

v) If the Roth IRA owner expects to be in a higher tax bracket upon retirement

, it is advantageous for him to contribute maximum amounts of money towards a Roth IRA. Why? Because money being invested in a Roth IRA is taxed at the current lower tax bracket, and will not be taxed when it is withdrawn upon retirement (and when the Roth IRA owner is in a higher tax bracket). For example, consider an investor who contributes $2000 to a Roth IRA when he is in a tax bracket of 21%, and will be in a tax bracket of 33% upon retirement. This means that investor has already paid 21% x $2000 = $420 in taxes. Upon retirement if the investor wants to withdraw his funds, he would have had to pay 33% x $2000 = $660 under a Traditional IRA. However since the investor has already been taxed at his lower bracket of 21%, he would NOT have to pay taxes upon taking retirement distributions when he is in a 33% tax bracket.
