Retirement

RMD

Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) is the minimum amount you must withdraw from traditional IRAs and 401(k)s each year after age 73. Failing to take the RMD incurs a 25% penalty. Roth IRAs have no RMDs during the owner's lifetime.

Example

At 75 with $1M in a Traditional IRA, RMD might be ~$44k.
