Why Use This Calculator

  • Compare traditional vs Roth outcomes

  • See break-even tax rate for conversion

  • Plan conversion timing and amounts

  • Understand RMD avoidance benefits

Roth conversions trigger income tax now but provide tax-free growth and withdrawals. Conversions make sense when current tax rate is lower than expected retirement rate, you have a long time horizon, or you want to reduce future RMDs.
