In addition to the standard features and tax advantages, Principal Bank® traditional and Roth IRAs come with the added security of FDIC insurance up to $250,000 per depositor.
Traditional IRA earnings grow tax-deferred until withdrawal, and certain contributions may be tax-deductible. You'll be taxed on the pre-tax savings when you withdraw it in retirement. To contribute to a traditional IRA, you or your spouse must earn income in the year the contribution is made. The annual contribution limit is $6,500 ($7,500 if you’re age 50 or more).2
Roth IRAs offer tax-free withdrawals after a five-year holding period, with the same contribution limits as a traditional IRA. Your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) can’t exceed certain limits in the year the contribution is made.
