How RMDs are calculated

RMD = prior Dec 31 balance ÷ distribution period (Uniform Lifetime Table)

Under SECURE 2.0, RMDs start the year you turn 73 (born 1951–1959) or 75 (born 1960 or later). Your first RMD can be delayed to April 1 of the following year, but then two RMDs fall in that year. Roth IRAs have no RMDs for the original owner.
