Once you reach age 73*, IRS rules require you to take an annual withdrawal, known as a required minimum distribution (RMD), from certain tax-deferred retirement accounts, including traditional IRAs, 401(k)s, 403(b)s, and 457(b)s. Your RMD amount is based on your account balance, age, and an IRS life‑expectancy factor. Use the calculator below to estimate your RMD and the required distributions a beneficiary would be responsible for with an inherited account under current rules.
*Please refer to the calculation notes to see how RMD-eligible ages may vary by birthdate.
