A Traditional IRA contribution gives you a Deduction now and it is taxed when you take it out.  It is all taxed, including the earnings and growth.

 

ROTH contributions do not give you a deduction now.  You pay tax on your total income now but when you take a ROTH Distribution it will come out tax free and the earnings will be tax free also.
