Required Minimum Distributions

RMD Planning

Stay ahead of Required Minimum Distributions for your Traditional IRA, 401(k) and other tax-deferred accounts. Retirewise calculates RMDs automatically, projects them year by year, and coordinates with Roth conversion planning to minimize lifetime taxes.

Automatic RMD calculations

Calculate Required Minimum Distributions automatically for Traditional IRA, 401(k), 403(b), and other tax-deferred accounts based on age and account balance—and project them year by year.

Year-by-year RMD timeline

View a clear timeline of every required distribution from your RMD start age forward, so you can plan cash flow and avoid surprise tax bills.

Roth-conversion coordination

Model strategic Roth conversions in the years before RMDs begin to reduce your future required distributions and the lifetime tax cost of your retirement accounts.

Tax-bracket impact

See exactly how each RMD affects your federal and state taxable income, capital-gains brackets, and Social Security taxation—year by year, in context.

Bracket-creep alerts

Identify the years where RMDs push you into a higher tax bracket, so you can plan conversions, charitable distributions, or withdrawal sequencing changes ahead of time.

Lifetime-tax minimization

Compare scenarios with and without pre-RMD Roth conversions to find the strategy that minimizes total lifetime taxes across taxable, tax-deferred, and tax-free accounts.
