is roth ira tax deferred
Remember, your Traditional IRA is tax deferred, while your Roth IRA is tax free... So, assuming a income tax rate of 30%, you really end up with... $20,933.70 in your Roth IRA, but only $14,653.59 in your Traditional IRA. That's the difference between an IRA that's tax deferred and an IRA that's tax free.
