But in a Roth IRA, Uncle Sam takes his cut up front – you pay into the account from your after-tax income. But everything you draw from that account after you retire (or even before, in some cases) will be tax-free. Roth IRAs might sound like a good deal, but it depends on your personal circumstances. Many financial planners advise young people to save as much as they can afford in Roth IRAs, before their income rises above the contribution limit. Generally, because the more you earn the more tax you pay, if you expect your income will be higher in retirement than during your working life, then paying the tax up front with a Roth IRA can mean a lower total tax bill over your lifetime. Alternatively, if you are unsure about your retirement tax status, it can be helpful to diversify with both taxed investment and savings accounts and tax deferred. For example, if you have a tax-deferred 401(k) through your employer, which will incur tax when you draw from it in retirement, you could include a Roth IRA in your retirement planning so that you will be able to take some of your retirement income tax free.
