RMDs begin at age 73 under SECURE 2.0. Uses the IRS Uniform Lifetime Table; a different table applies if your sole beneficiary is a spouse more than 10 years younger.

In plain English

RMD Estimator explained simply

The government lets retirement money grow tax-free for a long time, but eventually it wants its turn. Starting at age 73, you must take out a minimum amount each year.

For example

At age 75 with $500,000 saved, you'd have to withdraw about $20,300 that year.
