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 the difference in simple ira and roth ira?
The main difference is when you pay income taxes on the money you put in the plans. With a traditional IRA, you pay the taxes on the back end - that is, when you withdraw the money in retirement. But, in some cases, you may escape taxes on the front end - when you put the money into the account.
With a Roth IRA, it's the exact opposite. You pay the taxes on the front end, but there are no taxes on the back end.
And remember, in both traditional and Roth IRAs, your money grows tax free while it's in the account.
There are other differences too. While almost anyone with earned income can contribute to a traditional IRA, there areincome limits for contributing to a Roth IRA. So not everyone can take advantage of them.
Roth IRAs are more flexible if you need to withdraw some of the money early.
With a Roth IRA, you can leave the money in for as long as you want, letting it grow and grow as you get older and older. With a traditional IRA, by contrast, you must start withdrawing the money by the time you reach age 70½.

Can employers make contributions to roth IRA?
Yes and no, if an employer contributes to your Roth IRA directly the employer must report it as income to you. Since it is income they must also report it to uncle sam as taxable income and the employer will have to pay payroll taxes on the contribution. They can not pay into a Roth as the employer, so that answer is NO. Most employers will not want to deal with the potential IRS reporting nightmare this can have. That being said, the're companies that offer PDP, payroll deduction plans. These plans are employee funded through the employees paycheck. The funds can be used to fund any type of account, i.e Roth, IRA, 529 and so on. The Employer then sends one check monthly to the company of choice based on the amount each employee has withheld from thier individual pay checks, hence payroll deduction.
If the employer is looking to offer this as a benefit to it's employee or key employee the employer would increase the employee's pay to match the amount the employer wishes to contribute to the employee. But ultimately it looks like the employee is making the contributions.
