Carry IRAs
Your financial independence starts with a Carry IRA
Open a Traditional or Roth IRA by Carry to easily invest in stocks and ETFs. Earnings have tax-free or tax-deferred growth potential, so you’ll keep more of what you invest.
Maximize your retirement savings
Max out contributions
Contribute up to $7,000 for 2024 or up to $8,000 if you’re at least 50 years of age.
Total investment freedom
Invest in any asset class permitted by law, including stocks and ETFs or alternative assets like crypto, real estate, or private equity.
Support for a Backdoor IRA
If your income is over $161,000, you’re not allowed to contribute to a Roth IRA for 2024. With Carry, you can easily do a backdoor IRA conversion to get around this restriction and contribute up to the full amount.
Tax-free compounding
Pay zero taxes on any income or profits generated from your investments inside of the plan. 100% of your profits go straight back into your account.
Backdoor Roth conversions are easy with Carry
A Roth IRA has income limits that restrict high income earners from making contributions. A backdoor Roth IRA is an easy workaround that lets anyone put money into their Roth IRA each year. The best part? Carry does all of the heavy lifting for you.

"I am in *heaven* with Carry. Payroll deduction to my Solo 401k and then automatically invested. You solved the use case that matters most. If i wasn’t running my own startup, I’d want to work with you all."
Cheryl Kellond, Carry Customer
"Major shoutout to my tax strategist from [Carry]. She crafted for me a 32-page tax and financial plan that outlined insurance, retirement, and how to achieve my LT goals."
Austin Hankwitz, Carry Customer
"Thanks so much. I reviewed my financial plan and it provided a lot of guidance and things to think about in terms of my long-term goals."
Sherrell Dorsey, Carry Customer
"It was one of the first platforms I’ve seen that specifically targets and helps solopreneurs, s-corp owners, self-employed, and gives them an all-in-one platform to easily manage retirement and tax saving strategies and accounts. I once tried to open a Solo 401k with [Other Provider], and it was a daunting task. Carry was a few clicks."
Nick Chester, Carry Customer
"I love Carry so much. It was so easy to set up my Solo 401k (which if you’ve ever tried to do that, it’s not always super simple) and inside I was able to invest in a ton of different ETF options"
Erin Confortini, Carry Customer
