What is the combined yearly total amount in 2018 I can contribute to my TSP, TSP Roth, Traditional IRA, and Roth IRA.

You can see the total amount you can contribute to a TSP plan at this link: <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="https://www.tsp.gov/PlanParticipation/EligibilityAndContributions/contributionLimits.html">https://w...>

That total is the same whether you contribute to a Tradtional TSP or Roth TSP. The answer gets more complicated when talking about Traditional IRA and Roth IRA. In general, your participation in a TSP does not affect your eligibility to contribute to TIRA/Roth IRA's. However, contributing to a Roth TSP can affect your eligibility to contribute to a Roth IRA.
