Suppose One of Your Clients Is Four Years Away From
Suppose one of your clients is four years away from retirement and has only $ 2,500 in pretax
income to devote to either a Roth or traditional IRA. The traditional IRA permits investors to
contribute the full $ 2,500 since contributions to these accounts are tax deductible, but they
must pay taxes on all future distributions. In contrast, contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax-
deductible. For example, if a person’s tax rate is 25 percent, an investor is able to contribute
only $ 1,875 after taxes; however, the earnings of a Roth IRA grow tax- free. Your company has
decided to waive the one- time set- up fee of $ 50 to open a Roth IRA; however, investors
opening a traditional IRA must pay the $ 50 setup fee. Assuming that your client anticipates that
her tax rate will remain at 19 percent in retirement and will earn a stable 7 percent return on her
investments, will she prefer a traditional or Roth IRA?
