Traditional IRA to Roth Conversion Calculator

Unsure if you should convert a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA? Use this calculator to figure out which option is likely to work better for your circumstances. This calculator makes a number of important assumptions:

  • the Roth IRA will be maintained for at least 5-years
  • withdrawals won't be made until you are at least 59.5 years old

For sake of simplicity the calculator also presumes a constant rate of return on investments & that your federal tax bracket will not change across any period.

The calculator does not account for state taxes or Alternative Minimum Tax (ATM). Please be sure to consult a qualified tax professional before making any changes to your existing retirement plan.

I very frequently get the question:

'What's going to change in the next 10 years?' And that is a very interesting question; it's a very common one. I almost never get the question: 'What's not going to change in the next 10 years?' And I submit to you that that second question is actually the more important of the two — because you can build a business strategy around the things that are stable in time. … [I]n our retail business, we know that customers want low prices, and I know that's going to be true 10 years from now. They want fast delivery; they want vast selection. It's impossible to imagine a future 10 years from now where a customer comes up and says, 'Jeff I love Amazon; I just wish the prices were a little higher,' [or] 'I love Amazon; I just wish you'd deliver a little more slowly.' Impossible. And so the effort we put into those things, spinning those things up, we know the energy we put into it today will still be paying off dividends for our customers 10 years from now. When you have something that you know is true, even over the long term, you can afford to put a lot of energy into it." - Jeff Bezos

    If you let others manage your investments, the single biggest factor you can control is your investment-related expenses, as they have a big impact on compounding.

Imagine you have $100,000 invested. If the account earned 6% a year for the next 25 years and had no costs or fees, you'd end up with about $430,000.

If, on the other hand, you paid 2% a year in costs, after 25 years you'd only have about $260,000.

That's right: The 2% you paid every year would wipe out almost 40% of your final account value. 2% doesn't sound so small anymore, does it? - Vanguard
