The required minimum distribution for any year is the account balance as of the end of the immediately preceding calendar year divided by a distribution period from the IRS’s “Uniform Lifetime Table.” Use a different table if the sole beneficiary is the owner’s spouse who is ten or more years younger than the owner.  The following can help determine the payout periods and the amount of your required distribution:

  • worksheets to calculate the required amount 
  • tables to calculate the RMD during the participant or IRA owner’s life:
