IRA Minimum Distribution


If you hold retirement funds in a tax-deferred account (IRA, 401(k), etc), federal law requires that you begin withdrawing at least a minimum amount each year once you reach age 70 1/2. This calculator will assist you in determining your required minimum distribution (RMD) under new IRS rules passed in January, 2001.


Please note that the new rules apply automatically to IRAs, but other types of retirement plans must be amended to adopt them (please see your plan sponsor). The new rules (which this calculator is based on) also do not apply if your primary beneficiary is a spouse who is more than ten years younger than you.

The deadline for your first RMD is generally April 1 of the year after you reach age 70 1/2. In subsequent years, your RMD deadline is December 31.

This is a hypothetical example used for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the return of any specific investment. Actual rates of return will vary over time; particularly for long-term investments.
