Nondeductible describes expenses or contributions that cannot be subtracted from taxable income: Medical expenses below the threshold are nondeductible.

The term appears most often in tax contexts, distinguishing costs you must absorb fully from those that reduce your tax burden.

A nondeductible IRA contribution is made with after-tax money.
