I'm an independent contractor and thus won't be having a 401K. I will be setting up an IRA. The question came as to whether I should set up a ROTH or Traditional.

I will be going with a ROTH IRA over a Traditional IRA because I expect to be in a higher tax bracket by the time I make it to 45 years old. These things work in ranges though.

As a US Citizen, what is the highest amount I can make per year that would make a Traditional IRA more worth it to me than a ROTH IRA?

For example, HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING, if everything under 70K is better suited for a Traditional IRA, then it wouldn't matter if I make 30K annually now, and then make 69K in 2031 (if I'd still be in an under 70K tax bracket in both situations). If I move up to 100K in 2031 though, that would put me in a different tax bracket and the ROTH IRA makes more sense.

Anyone know how high up I can go (what dollar amount) to where a Traditional IRA makes more sense than a ROTH?
