If you are covered by a retirement plan at work, you can make a full or partially deductible contribution to a Traditional IRA, based on your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI).

The Secure Act, signed into law on December 20, 2019, removed the age limit in which an individual can contribute to an IRA. As long as you are still working, there is no age limit to be able to contribute to a Traditional IRA.

Roth IRA income limits: Your compensation counts

There are no income limits for a traditional IRA, but how much you earn has a direct bearing on how much you can contribute to a Roth IRA.

Is your income OK for a Roth IRA?

Whether or not you can make the maximum Roth IRA contribution (for 2022 $6,000 annually, or $7,000 if you're age 50 or older) depends on your tax filing status and your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI).

Your contribution can be reduced or "phased out" as your MAGI approaches the upper limits of the applicable phase-out ranges listed below.
