The Triple Promise Roth Conversion Check

Somebody has probably told you to convert your IRA to a Roth. Before you do something you can’t undo, let’s figure out together whether it’s even worth your time. Here’s what we promise you first.

We’ll give it to you straight, even when straight means “don’t.”

We’ll tell you the truth, even when the truth is that a conversion won’t help you. Plenty of people are told to convert who shouldn’t be. You deserve to hear that, and we’d rather it come from us.

Your real situation, not a generic guess.

We won’t run you through a one-size-fits-all calculator and call it an answer. Most of them are wrong, sometimes by six figures, because they use a flat tax rate and assume money you may not have. We look at what’s actually true for you.

Nothing to lose by looking.

It costs you nothing and commits you to nothing. You can look it over without sending anything to anyone. And looking is always reversible. The conversion is the only part you can’t take back, which is exactly why it’s worth a look before you leap.

Answer a few quick questions and you’ll know which situation you’re in. This isn’t the calculator that hands you the answer. The real answer takes more than 30 details and software built for it. This shows you the shape, so you know whether it’s worth going further.

Does your guaranteed income cover your life? Between Social Security and any pension, does your guaranteed monthly income roughly cover your basic living costs?

How much is in pre-tax retirement accounts? A rough range is fine. Traditional IRA, 401(k), 403(b), that kind of thing.

Is there someone you’d want to leave money to?

Are you married or single? This one matters more than people expect, because of what happens to the survivor’s taxes.

It does not tell you whether a Roth conversion is right for you; it shows which situation you may be in. The real answer depends on your full, year-by-year tax picture, which is different for everyone. No figures are shown and no outcome is promised or guaranteed. Roth conversions are generally irreversible, so please review any strategy with a qualified professional before acting.
