If you withdraw Roth IRA earnings before age 59½, a 10% penalty usually applies. Withdrawals before age 59½ from a traditional IRA trigger a 10% penalty tax, whether you withdraw contributions or earnings. In certain IRS-approved situations, you may take early withdrawals from an IRA with no penalty.
