Because Roth IRAs are funded with after-tax dollars (money that's already been taxed), you will pay taxes on your contributions but will not pay taxes when you withdraw them in the future If you are 59½ or over, you may withdraw as much as you want, tax free and penalty free, as long as your Roth IRA has been open for at least 5 years.
If you have other questions about this, ask in the comment section below.
