IRA Early Withdrawal Calculator Output Explanation

Calculator Outputs –

  • Section 1 – Defining Distribution Methods:
    • Required Minimum Distribution (RMD):
    • Fixed Amortization: The interest rate used will be added to this title.
  • Section 2 – Distribution Amount:
    • We determine the annual figure and a monthly based on single life expectancy (using the IRS life expectancy table).
    • These are the series of payments you will take based on the required minimum distribution method and the fixed amortization method for 72 t early distribution.
    • The IRA owner should always consult with a tax specialist. Additional amounts taken out can result in an early distribution penalty.
  • Section 3 – Gap To Budget %:
    • This is calculated by taking the Distribution Amount and dividing it by your expected budget.
    • Example: You have a monthly budget set at $2,000 ($24,000 annual) and your distribution amount is $593 a month ($7,110 annual). You would still need an additional $1,407 ($16,890 annual) to cover your expense. 30% of your expense would be cover by the 72t distribution, while the remaining 70% would need to come from another income source.
  • Section 4 – Gap To Budget $:
    • This is calculated by taking the 72t distribution amount and subtracting your expected budget.
