Two Retirement Paths, Two Very Different Required Minimum Distributions

Original: Two Couples Retire at 62 With $600,000 Each in IRAs. One Lives on a Pension and Leaves the IRAs Alone. The Other Converts $45,000 a Year at 12%. At 73, One Faces a $39,000 RMD and the Other $15,000

A personal finance comparison looks at two couples who both retire at 62 with $600,000 in IRAs. One lives on a pension and leaves the accounts untouched; the other converts $45,000 a year to a Roth at an assumed 12% growth. By 73, the first couple faces roughly $39,000 in required minimum distributions, while the converting couple owes about $15,000.

Why now: Retirees are weighing Roth conversion strategies against rising required minimum distribution tax bills.
