2010 Simple limits will remain the same as in 2009. With the 2010 contribution limit now attached to a cost-of-living index, the Simple IRA limit will remain at $11,500.

In addition to the above, 2010 simple IRA catch-up contributions are $2,500. Catch-up contributions are allowed to participants 50-years old and older to increase the level of contributions as they grow closer to retirement.

Can you have both a Simple Ira and Roth Ira?

Yes, the limitation does not apply between a SIMPLE IRA and a Roth/Traditional. However, because a SIMPLE IRA is a "qualified retirement plan" offered by your employer, you may not be able to get a traditional IRA deduction- all depends on your income situation.


What can I find out from an IRA calculator?

An Ira caulator is used to find out how much money you will gain in the future with money that you invest now. By using your monthly contribution, years until retirement and estimated annual inflation you can get a realistic prediction of how much money you will get from your investment in the future. However be carefull for there are two kinds of Ira caculators a regualr Ira and a Roth Ira, research what type of Ira is best for you and do not go by just the caculator alone.


Is a roth ira considered a simple ira?

An IRA is essentially a "no fuss, no muss" situation.The IRA-based plans range from one with little employer involvement to ones that the employer establishes and funds.Individual Retirement AccountsAn IRA is the most basic sort of retirement arrangement. People tend to think of an IRA as something just for individuals (hence the "I" in IRA). But an employer can help its employees to set up and fund their IRAs. With an IRA, what the employee gets at retirement depends on the funding of their IRA and the earnings (or income) on those funds.


What is Maximum contribution to an IRA for married couple?

In 2010 (unless congress changes the law), the maximum per spouse is $5000 if under age 50 at year end and $6000 if 50 or older at year end. HOWEVER, there are quite a few additional variables. For instance, if either spouse participates in an employer-sponsored plan during the year, then there are income restrictions on how much of that is deductible - if you make over a certain amount, you don't get to deduct some or all of the contribution. That's for a Traditional IRA. For a Roth IRA you don't deduct the contribution in any case, and it has higher income restrictions and contribution to an employer sponsored plan is irrelevant. Whether you file separately or jointly also impacts how much you can deduct. Also, you can only contribute earned income, so if you made less than $10,000 as a couple, you cannot contribute the full $5000 each to an IRA (even on a non-deductible basis. The above list of variables is not comprehensive. Although I understand many of the rules, I don't feel qualified to try to put together such a list. I'd recommend contacting a financial planner, estate planner or accountant (depending on your exact situation) unless you have some other resource that you feel confident addresses your specific situation. For many couples, it is in fact as simple as you can each contribute $5000.


What are the vesting rules for a Simple IRA?
