📊 RMD Calculator

Calculate Required Minimum Distributions for your retirement accounts

⚠️ Important: RMD Rules (2024)
RMDs must begin at age 73 (changed from 72 in SECURE 2.0 Act). Failure to take RMDs results in a 25% penalty on the amount not withdrawn. Roth IRAs have no RMDs during owner's lifetime.

💡 RMD Planning Strategies
  • Consider Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) to satisfy RMDs without increasing taxable income (up to $105,000/year for 2024)
  • Time Roth conversions strategically before RMDs begin to reduce future RMD amounts
  • Delay Social Security to offset RMD income and potentially stay in lower tax bracket
  • Aggregate RMDs from multiple IRAs can be withdrawn from a single account
  • Set up automatic monthly withdrawals to dollar-cost average your RMDs throughout the year
  • Consider using RMDs to fund 529 plans for grandchildren (new SECURE 2.0 provision)
  • Review your portfolio allocation - RMDs force selling, so plan accordingly
  • If still working at 73+, you may be able to delay 401(k) RMDs (but not IRA RMDs)
