计算示例
$25,000 current balance, $7,000 annual contribution, 7% return, 25 years, 24% tax bracket.
- Current balance grows: $25,000 x (1.07)^25 = $135,700
- Contributions grow: $583/mo at 7% for 25 years = ~$474,300
- Total projected value: ~$610,000
- Tax savings from deductions: $7,000 x 24% x 25 = $42,000
