Mark Vaimberg, CFP - IRA Eligibility : Calculator: IRA Eligibility

Saving for a comfortable retirement is one of the most common financial goals among working people. One popular retirement savings vehicle is the IRA. Even if you have access to an employer-sponsored retirement plan, you may still be eligible to supplement your employer’s plan by contributing to a tax-deductible IRA or a Roth IRA. This calculator is designed to help you determine whether you qualify for the different types of IRAs and to estimate the potential future value of each type of IRA for which you are eligible.
