An individual retirement account (IRA) allows you to save and invest money for retirement with tax advantages.

We offer 2 types of IRAs: Roth and traditional. A Roth IRA offers tax-free growth potential on after-tax contributions. With a traditional IRA, your investments have the opportunity to grow tax-deferred and you may be eligible for a tax deduction on your contributions.

Each year, the IRS sets a maximum amount that you can contribute across all of your IRAs. This includes IRAs outside of Robinhood. For 2025, the contribution limit is $7,000 for people under age 50, and $8,000 for people age 50 and over.

Keep in mind, you can contribute to your IRA for the previous tax year until the IRS tax filing deadline.

You can add money to your IRA in 2 ways:

• Make annual IRA contributions that count toward your limit
• Transfer or roll over money from another retirement account. There is no limit to the amount you can transfer or roll over.

When you fund a Robinhood IRA and subscribe to Robinhood Gold, we’ll give you a 3% boost—also called a match—on all annual contributions. That means we’ll add 3% on top of every $1 you contribute—up to the IRS contribution limits.

• To earn a 3% boost, join Robinhood Gold for $5 per month and keep your membership for 1 year.**
• Without Gold, you’ll still earn a 1% match on all annual contributions, IRA transfers, and old 401(k) rollovers

IRA match does not apply to managed IRAs from Robinhood Strategies.

Disclosures:

**1 year starts from the date you earned your first Gold match.

You must have earned (wage) income in order to contribute to an IRA. The funds that earned the match must be kept in the account for at least 5 years to avoid a potential Early IRA Match Removal Fee. For more information, visit the IRA match FAQ.

Funds being contributed into or distributed from retirement accounts may entail tax consequences. Contributions are limited and withdrawals before age 59½ may be subject to a penalty tax. Robinhood does not provide tax advice; please consult with a tax adviser if you have questions.

A Robinhood IRA is available to any U.S. customer with a Robinhood brokerage account in good standing.

All investments involve risk and loss of principal is possible.

The IRA match is a 3% match on annual contributions with a Robinhood Gold subscription ($5/month) or 1% without.

You get matched on any amount from contributions, IRA transfers, or old 401(k)s. We’ll add 1%. No cap.

KEEP IN MIND

The match isn’t counted toward your annual contribution limits.

The IRA contribution limits set by the IRSfor 2025 are:

• $7,000 if you are under age 50, which means you can earn up to $70 extra (or $210 with Robinhood Gold)

• $8,000 if you are age 50 or over, which means you can earn up to $80 on top of your contributions (or $240 with Robinhood Gold)

NOTE

You can contribute to your IRA for the previous tax year until the IRS tax filing deadline.

You’ll usually get your IRA match right away after your deposits settle. The exact amount of time depends on the type of deposit you’re making:

• If you’re making a regular annual contribution: Once your deposit is complete, you’ll usually get your IRA match money instantly. Keep your contributions in your IRA for at least 5 years to avoid the early IRA match removal fee.

• If you’re transferring an IRA: Once your transfer completes, your match amount is calculated based on the match percent of the total of the transferred cash plus transferred securities and options.

  • Settlement happens when the securities are posted to the account and available to trade. Note that the match money is only available for securities that successfully transfer and settle and won’t be granted for securities that are rejected.

• If you’re rolling over a 401(k): When your old 401(k) rollover completes, the match will be calculated based on the match percent of total rollover amount.

With a Roth IRA:

• You’re only eligible to contribute to a Roth IRA if you make under a certain amount per year.
• You contribute after-tax dollars. This means your contributions aren’t tax-deductible.
• You can withdraw contributions anytime with no penalties or fees.
• If you withdraw earnings before you’re age 59½—and before you’ve owned your Roth IRA for at least 5 years—you may have to pay a 10% tax penalty.
• You aren’t required to make a withdrawal after you reach a certain age.

With a traditional IRA:

• You generally contribute pre-tax dollars. This means you may be able to take a tax deduction for the amount you contribute—which could help you save on taxes each year.
• You can start withdrawing money without any penalties once you’re age 59½. You’re generally taxed on the amount you withdraw.
• If you need to make a withdrawal before you’re age 59½, you can—but you may have to pay a 10% penalty
• After you turn 73, you must withdraw a minimum amount each year from your traditional IRA to avoid tax penalties

No, not the same. The Robinhood IRA match and employer 401(k) match both offer matches on contributions. They have the following differences:

• A 401(k) employer match is a contribution that an employer makes to an employee's retirement account. The Robinhood IRA is entirely different from your employer plan.

• The Robinhood IRA match is a percentage of your contribution amount, whereas a 401(k) match is generally a percentage of your compensation. The percentage figure should not be used as a basis for comparison or evaluation.

• Your 401(k) may have a shorter vesting plan than the 5 year holding period required to earn the full Robinhood IRA match.

Keep in mind that limitations apply to both types of retirement accounts. To learn more, read the IRS's IRA Deduction Limits.

We offer 2 types of IRAs: Roth and traditional. Each has special tax advantages.

Roth IRA tax advantages:

• Although you contribute after-tax dollars, your potential IRA earnings grow tax-free because you pay taxes upfront.
• You won’t pay any taxes when you make qualified withdrawals as long you’re age 59½ and have had your IRA for 5 years.

You should also know:

• Your contributions aren’t tax-deductible.
• If you withdraw any earnings before you’re age 59½ or before you’ve had account for 5 years, you’ll likely have to pay penalties and taxes.

Traditional IRA tax advantages:

• You generally contribute pre-tax dollars. This means you may be able to take a tax deduction for the amount you contribute—which could help you save on taxes each year.
• Your contributions and any potential earnings grow tax-deferred—because you usually pay taxes once you start making withdrawals.

You should also know:

• You’re required to withdraw a certain amount every year once you’re age 73, or else you may have to pay a penalty.
• If you (or your spouse, if you are married) are covered by a retirement plan through an employer, you may have to deduct less than you would otherwise.
