How to Use This Traditional IRA Calculator
Enter your annual contribution, Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI), filing status, and whether you or your spouse are covered by a workplace retirement plan. The calculator applies 2025 IRS phase-out ranges to determine how much of your contribution is tax-deductible.
The Formula
If MAGI ≤ Phase-Out Start: Full deduction allowed
If MAGI ≥ Phase-Out End: No deduction (non-deductible IRA only)
Partial deduction = Contribution Γ [1 β (MAGI β Phase-Out Start) / Phase-Out Range]
Tax Savings = Deductible Amount Γ Your Marginal Tax Rate
If MAGI ≥ Phase-Out End: No deduction (non-deductible IRA only)
Partial deduction = Contribution Γ [1 β (MAGI β Phase-Out Start) / Phase-Out Range]
Tax Savings = Deductible Amount Γ Your Marginal Tax Rate
Example
Lisa, single, $83,000 MAGI, covered by 401(k), contributes $7,000:
2025 phase-out range: $79,000 β $89,000 (range = $10,000)
Amount above phase-out start: $83,000 β $79,000 = $4,000
Reduction ratio: $4,000 / $10,000 = 40%
Deductible amount: $7,000 Γ (1 β 40%) = $4,200
At 22% bracket: Tax savings = $4,200 Γ 22% = $924
2025 phase-out range: $79,000 β $89,000 (range = $10,000)
Amount above phase-out start: $83,000 β $79,000 = $4,000
Reduction ratio: $4,000 / $10,000 = 40%
Deductible amount: $7,000 Γ (1 β 40%) = $4,200
At 22% bracket: Tax savings = $4,200 Γ 22% = $924

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Traditional IRA contribution limit for 2025?
The 2025 Traditional IRA contribution limit is $7,000 for individuals under age 50, and $8,000 for those 50 and older. You can contribute to a Traditional IRA at any age as long as you have earned income equal to or greater than your contribution.
Is my Traditional IRA contribution tax-deductible?
It depends on your income and whether you (or your spouse) are covered by an employer retirement plan. If neither you nor your spouse has a workplace plan, your contribution is fully deductible regardless of income. If you have a workplace plan, deductibility phases out based on your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI).
What are the 2025 Traditional IRA deduction phase-out ranges?
For 2025: Single/Head of Household covered by workplace plan: $79,000β$89,000. Married Filing Jointly, covered spouse: $126,000β$146,000. Married Filing Jointly, non-covered spouse but covered spouse: $236,000β$246,000. Above the phase-out range, contributions are non-deductible but can still be made.
What is the difference between a deductible and non-deductible IRA contribution?
A deductible contribution reduces your taxable income now and is taxed fully on withdrawal. A non-deductible contribution receives no immediate tax break but the basis (what you put in) comes out tax-free; only the earnings are taxed at withdrawal. Non-deductible contributions require filing IRS Form 8606.
When must I take withdrawals from a Traditional IRA?
You must begin Required Minimum Distributions (RMDs) at age 73 (age 75 starting in 2033 under SECURE 2.0). Withdrawals before age 59Β½ are generally subject to ordinary income tax plus a 10% early withdrawal penalty, with some exceptions.
