Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

Growing Your Retirement Savings

An Individual Retirement Account (IRA) from Eastern Savings Bank can be an important part of your overall financial plan. We offer a variety of Certificates of Deposit (CD) and Savings Account options to help you choose the account and timeframe that fits your needs.

Traditional or Roth Individual Retirement Account (IRA)

We offer Traditional and Roth Retirement Plans. A Traditional or Roth IRA contribution can be made by an individual that has earned income.

Understanding The Differences

Traditional IRAs
Under a Traditional IRA your retirement account is funded with pre-tax dollars and your earnings on investments remain tax-deferred. However, you will be taxed whenever you withdraw from the account.

Roth IRAs
Roth IRAs, unlike Traditional IRAs, are funded using after-tax dollars. This allows for tax-free withdrawals while your earnings on the investments remain tax-deferred.

Coverdell Educational Savings
Educational savings accounts are investments used for higher education expenses, such as books and tuition. A parent or guardian can make non-deductible contributions for a child under the age of 18. Like a ROTH IRA where contributions are made after-tax, these accounts are tax-advantaged because funds will be withdrawn without taxation when needed for educational purposes. Educational savings accounts are not meant for retirement savings.

Always consult your tax advisor when making savings and investment decisions.
