What Is an RMD?

The IRS requires minimum withdrawals from most tax-deferred retirement accounts once you reach a certain age. The amount is your prior-year-end balance divided by a life-expectancy factor from the Uniform Lifetime Table.

How to Use This Calculator

  • Enter your IRA or 401(k) balance as of December 31 of the prior year.
  • Enter your age for the current distribution year.
  • The result is the minimum you must withdraw (you may take more).
