Roth IRA Conversion Analyzer

In order to complete our calculations and to determine if you should convert your traditional IRA into a Roth IRA, we need to collect some financial information about your past IRA investing.

Specifically, you will need to determine both your past deductible and past non-deductible IRA contributions. You may want to reference your financial records before proceeding.

What is your tax return filing status?
Single or Head of Household
Married, Filing Jointly

What is the current balance of your IRA(s) (both Deductible and Non-Deductible)?
$

Were all of your IRA contributions in the previous years deductible contributions?
Yes (If Yes, then proceed to #5)
No (If No, then proceed to #4)

What is the total of your Non-Deductible IRA contributions? $

Although it may be difficult to remember your past Non-Deductible IRA contributions, this financial information is necessary to calculate the Future Value of your Non-Deductible IRA and to determine if you should convert your Regular IRA into a Roth IRA. You may want to reference Form 8606 from the IRS to determine this figure.

What you choose for your tax brackets will have a direct effect on your Future Value calculations. If you choose the same for both your current and expected tax rate at retirement, and all of your previous contributions have been deductible, your Future Value calculations for your Deductible IRA and a Roth IRA will be the same.

Of course, our calculators do not take into consideration all possible variables, and the tax rates are also subject to change in the future. Given that, you may want to consult with a tax advisor or legal counsel for advice and information concerning your particular situation.
