Important: This computes the owner’s lifetime RMD using the IRS Uniform Lifetime Table (Table III). A different table applies if your sole beneficiary is a spouse more than 10 years younger (Joint Life Table II) or for an inherited IRA (Single Life Table I) — those are not computed here. Roth IRAs have no RMD during the owner’s lifetime.
