How to Calculate Required Min Dist
What is Required Min Dist?
A required minimum distribution (RMD) calculator determines the annual amount that must be withdrawn from traditional IRAs and 401(k) accounts starting at age 73. RMD = account balance ÷ IRS life expectancy factor. Failing to take RMDs results in a 25% penalty on the amount that should have been withdrawn.
