IRS Uniform Lifetime Table

Use this table to calculate lifetime RMDs from IRAs and retirement plan accounts.

Example: Brian, a retired 401(k) participant, turned 76 on March 31. His daughter, Susan, is the beneficiary on his account. On December 31 of last year, the ending balance in his 401(k) was $262,000. To calculate his RMD for this year, he divides $262,000 by his life expectancy factor of 23.7 years. His distribution amount is $11,054.85.

Account balance / Life expectancy factor = RMD

$262,000 / 23.7 = $11,054.85
