Child IRA Calculator

Starting a Roth IRA for your child is one of the most important financial moves that a parent can make. This calculator quantifies the benefit of starting to save for retirement early.

How To Use This Calculator

  • This calculator will calculate the expected future after tax values of your child’s IRA based on the contributions you make while they are a minor.
  • You must enter your expected returns, time horizon, and other assumptions.
  • This calculator is fairly rigid and simplistic; it assumes an identical contribution each year, and only considers contributions made prior to age 19.
