What to know about opening a custodial Roth IRA for a child

Help Your Children & Grand Children Start Saving for Retirement Parents and Grandparents, you can help your children under the age of 18 start saving for retirement by setting up a custodial Roth IRA. To be eligible, your child needs to earn income. It doesn't matter if they're working for an employer, you, a grandparent, or providing services like babysitting. As long as the child is making money, they can contribute to a custodial Roth IRA. For 2025, the contribution limit for custodial Roth IRAs is $7,000 or the total amount of money your child made during the year, whichever is less. For example, if your child made $2,000 babysitting or doing yard work, they could contribute up to $2,000 to their custodial Roth IRA this year. If they made $8,000, they would be able to contribute up to $7,000. If your child contributes from age 9 to 18, their principal invested would be $20,000. By investing $166.67 monthly to dollar cost average at 7% interest over 10 years, they would have $28,840.16. Now, if they keep that money invested from age 19 to 65 and earn an 8% interest rate, which is conservative over a 47-year period, they could have $1,205,568.88 by age 65.
