The number changes almost every year.
To calculate your maximum contribution for 2009, first take the SMALLER of the following two numbers:
1) $5000 (or $6000 if you are age 50 or over).
2) Your taxable compensation income for the year. Compensation income is wages, commissions, tips, net self-employment, and alimony.
Then subtract the amount you contributed to a traditional IRA for the same year from the number above.
For 2009, if you are single and your Modified Adjusted Gross Income exceeds $105,000 or if you are married filing jointly and it exceeds $166,000, then there are further limitations. If you are married filing separately, there is an even more severe limitation.
