Roth IRA Basics for Kids
A Roth IRA is a powerful retirement savings tool that can also be used to help children build wealth. Contributions grow tax-free, and qualified withdrawals are tax-free as well.
Benefits of Starting Early
Starting a Roth IRA for your child at a young age takes advantage of compound interest, allowing decades of tax-free growth. Even small contributions can grow significantly over time.
Investment Tips for Long-Term Growth
Start Early and Invest Consistently
The earlier you start investing, the more time compound interest has to work in your favor. Consistent contributions, even if small, can lead to substantial growth over decades.
Understand Risk and Return
Higher potential returns typically come with higher risk. For long-term investments like Roth IRAs, a diversified portfolio can help balance growth potential with risk management.
Understanding Compound Interest
Compound interest is the engine behind long-term investment growth. With a Roth IRA, earnings stay tax-free, so your child benefits from reinvesting 100% of the gains each year. Our Roth IRA calculator projects this growth so you can see how steady contributions add up.
Try adjusting the rate of return and contribution amount to compare scenarios. Seeing the balance at different ages helps families make confident, long-term investing decisions.
Roth IRA Benefits for Kids
- Tax-free growth and tax-free qualified withdrawals in retirement.
- Flexible uses for education or a first home under IRS guidelines.
- Decades of compounding potential when contributions start early.
David Hedges and Bookman Bright emphasize starting early so children can build wealth steadily while learning disciplined investing habits.
