What kind of account is a Roth IRA? What is the difference between a Roth IRA and a 401(k) retirement accounts? A Roth IRA is an individual retirement account that allows you to deposit and grow your after-tax earnings tax-free. Unlike a 401(k), you don’t need an employer to sponsor it (and there’s no employer match option). Roth IRAs also allow you to invest however you want rather than making you choose between a few pre-selected funds like a 401(k).
