IRA FAQ
How much can I contribute to a Roth or Traditional IRA?

Assuming eligibility, you can contribute up to $7,000 per year or 100% of your earned income, whichever is less. Married couples can contribute more, but no more than $7,000 per spouse. You can contribute the maximum to a traditional IRA, Roth IRA or split between the two types.

How does the “catch-up” contribution plan work if I am age 50 or older?

A special exception applies if you are age 50 or older that allows you to contribute an additional $1,000 to an IRA.
