Formula & Methodology

RMD Method: Annual = Account Balance / Life Expectancy Factor

72(t) allows penalty-free withdrawals before 59½ using three IRS-approved calculation methods. Must continue for 5 years or until 59½, whichever is longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I modify 72(t) payments after starting?

Modifying (except by one lifetime switch to RMD method) triggers the 10% penalty retroactively on all prior distributions plus interest.
