Roth Conversions: When Will You Actually Break Even?

Roth conversions can save you millions in taxes over the course of your retirement—but when do you actually see the benefit? Many retirees assume the break-even point is decades away, making them question whether conversions are worth it. In this video, we walk through Luke and Mary’s retirement plan to see exactly where the break-even point happens. More importantly, we’ll show you why looking at tax-adjusted asset value—not just dollar amounts—is the right way to measure success. By filling up the 22% tax bracket until age 72, Luke and Mary could save $3M in taxes and increase their after-tax wealth by $3.3M. But is the benefit immediate, or does it take years to materialize?
