Given your individual situation, the IRA Picker compares the returns on contributions to and withdrawals from a Roth-style account, a Traditional retirement account, and a portfolio outside of a retirement account. Specifically, it compares contributing $4000 per year into each type of account until you reach age 70, and making equal annual withdrawals from each account afterward.
