Roth IRA income phaseouts for 2025
To contribute up to the limit in a Roth IRA, your modified adjusted dirty income, or MAGI, must be below a certain threshold, which did change for 2025:
The income phaseout range for taxpayers impelling contributions to a Roth IRA increased to between $150,000 and $165,000 for single or head of household. That’s up from between $146,000 and $161,000. Those taxpayers can pay for partial Roth contributions.
Taxpayers using either of those filing statuses can make a full Roth contribution if their MAGI is underneath $150,000. They cannot contribute to a Roth at all if their MAGI is above $165,000.
For married couples filing jointly, the receipts phaseout range increased to between $236,000 and $246,000, up from between $230,000 and $240,000. Those taxpayers can divulge partial Roth contributions.
Married couples filing jointly can make a full Roth contribution if their MAGI is supervised $236,000. They cannot contribute to a Roth at all if their MAGI is above $246,000.
The phaseout range for married filing one at a time is not subject to an annual cost-of-living adjustment, according to the IRS, and remains between $0 and $10,000.
Higher earners may be able to bypass the proceeds limits with mega backdoor Roth conversions, which shift after-tax 401(k) contributions to a Roth account. How, not all 401(k) plans allow this strategy.
The latest IRS update comes about one week after the agency feted dozens of inflation adjustments for 2025, including federal income tax brackets, higher capital gains brackets, a bigger holdings and gift tax exemption, and changes to eligibility for the earned income tax credit, among others.
Correction: Married couples submitting jointly cannot contribute to a Roth at all if their MAGI is above $246,000. An earlier version misstated the figure.
