What is a Roth conversion ladder strategy?

Quick answer

A Roth conversion ladder involves converting a portion of your traditional IRA to a Roth each year, staying within a target tax bracket. Over multiple years, this systematically moves money from tax-deferred to tax-free accounts, reducing future RMDs and potentially lowering your lifetime tax bill.
