How RMD Pressure Connects to Roth Strategy
RMD pressure builds quietly: each year past 73, the IRS Uniform Lifetime Table forces a larger slice of your Traditional balance out. Pre-RMD Roth conversions can defuse that pressure — but the right conversion size depends on your bracket fill, the years remaining, and your IRMAA exposure. The full Praxion plan models that interaction for your inputs.

Traditional retirement accounts eventually trigger taxable withdrawals, and poor timing can push retirees into higher tax brackets. Coordinating withdrawal amounts before and after RMD age helps reduce tax shocks.
What to Calculate
- Expected annual distributions from 401(k) and IRA balances
- Projected tax impact by bracket year-over-year
- RMD-driven income increases and downstream tax effects
