About This Calculator

Our Mission

The 530A Trump Account Calculator was created to help parents, guardians, and families understand how the new federally created child investment accounts can grow over time. We believe every family deserves clear, accessible tools to make informed financial decisions for their children — without needing to hire a financial advisor just to see the numbers.

Our goal is simple: take the complex tax code language of IRC §530A and §6434, and turn it into something anyone can interact with. Input your family's situation, see a projection, and understand the potential of long-term compound growth in a tax-deferred account.

What We Offer

How Our Calculator Works

The 530A Trump Account Calculator uses a straightforward compound-growth model based on the parameters you provide:

1. Enter your child's details — current age, starting balance, and whether you're eligible for the $1,000 federal seed (births 2025–2028).
2. Set your contribution plan — annual amount (capped at $5,000 by statute) and how long you plan to invest.
3. Choose your assumptions — expected annual return (based on historical U.S. stock index performance) and inflation rate.
4. View your projection — see year-by-year growth, inflation-adjusted values, and comparisons against other account types.

The math applies end-of-year compounding with the annual contribution added after each year's growth. The optional $1,000 federal seed is treated as an immediate contribution at year zero. All calculations are performed client-side in your browser for instant results.

About 530A Trump Accounts

530A Trump Accounts are a new category of tax-deferred custodial traditional IRAs for American children under age 18. They were created by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (Public Law 119-21), signed into law on July 4, 2025, and are codified at Internal Revenue Code Sections 530A and 6434.

Key features include a one-time $1,000 federal seed contribution for eligible children born 2025–2028 (IRC §6434), a $5,000 aggregate annual contribution cap (indexed for inflation after 2027), and mandatory investment in U.S. stock-index mutual funds or ETFs. At age 18, the account automatically converts to a standard traditional IRA.
