An individual retirement account (IRA) is a type of personal retirement plan offered by many different financial institutions (such as banks, credit unions, brokerage and investment firms) that provides preferential tax treatment on retirement savings, usually through tax-free growth or tax-deferred growth.

IRAs are directly managed by the accountholder, while other types of retirement accounts, such as 401(k) accounts or pensions, are usually administered by employers.
