The maximum yearly is $16,500 or $17K, this is what you can put in, it doesn't count what your employer puts in. It also goes up every couple of years.

    Thanks for the tip, gents.

    • Further to al's point, contributions accumulate tax deferred - they reduce your adjusted gross income by the contribution amount. When 43 cents of each incremental dollar I earn goes to taxes, you bet your ass I say max that shit out.

      Most people I talk to have nothing but good things to say about you, but you sure come across as a condescending prick. Do you have an inferiority complex you've attempted to overcome through overachievement? Or were you fondled as a child?

      You and slow99 should date. You both have passive aggressiveness down pat.

          Not money going into a Roth though correct? That money is taxed as gross income now and tax free to include earnings only after age 59 1/2. Is that correct?
          Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

            I haven't heard of that. Last I checked, ROTH contributions worked the same as 401k contributions. I can't contribute to a ROTH so I don't know the current rules.

              They're deducted post tax, so you don't pay taxes on withdrawals. The downside is opportunity cost, IMO.

                  Market today definitely did not show signs of one that is bottoming, that's for sure.

                    I heard it was the other way around. You pay taxes on the contributions as you make the money income. The withrdawals were are not taxed. I will call ML tomorrow and get the skinny. That is who my Roth is through. I did not set my Roth up, I actually just found out that I had it; or I would know more about it.

                    From my understanding it is a regular IRA that the yearly max contribution ($2,000) is deductible but earnings and withdrawals ARE taxed no matter when you recieve them

                      My brain is toast, I've been working since 3am this morning. I think you're saying it correctly, the basic idea of a ROTH is that you pay taxes now rather than later b/c you'll be in a higher tax bracket later. And hell, it looks like you and Yale are saying the same thing.

                          Also, any earnings on a Roth are tax-free.

                          • Looks like I completely misread Yale's post

                            Sorry Yale. It is the end of a 12 hour word day here also.
                            Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

                              Am I right in saying that max yearly contributions is $2k?

                                No, it's more than that but I clearly need to stop trying to post details before I fuck something else up.
