If you are Married Filing Joint and your income is less that $193,000 the you are allowed to contribute the full $6000 if your income is between $193,000 to $203,000 then your contribution is limited and above the $203,000 you may not make a contribution to a Roth IRA directly.
If you are Single and your income is less than $122,000 you are allowed to contribute the full $6,000 if your income is between $122,000 to $137,000 your contribution is limited and above $137,000 you may not make a contribution to a Roth IRA directly.
Another option if you want to contribute the full $6,000 is for you to do a Back Door Roth IRA.
