Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs)

Set a course toward the retirement you've always wanted

There's only one way to retire – your way.

Planning to retire shouldn't feel like a second job.  It won't with a carefully chosen Individual Retirement Account (IRA) from XCEL.  IRAs are tax-advantaged* retirement tools that help you maintain your standard of living even after you're working days are done. 

Traditional IRA Basics

  • Contributions are pre-tax and earnings grow tax-deferred
  • Contributions also may be tax deductible (depending on your income level)
  • Any withdrawals made are subject to income tax
  • Available to anyone who earns income 
  • Required Minimum Distributions (RMD) commence at age 73

Roth IRA Basics

  • Contribute after-tax money
  • Contributions are not tax deductible
  • Withdrawal of the earnings are tax free upon certain conditions being met
  • No required minimum distributions
  • Flexible withdrawal options
