Optimizing Income & Legacy

Retirement Income, RMDs, and IRMAA: Optimizing Your Decumulation Plan

Once you are retired, the decisions shift from "how much to save" to "how to draw it down without giving more to taxes than necessary." Praxion models RMD timing, withdrawal order, and IRMAA bracket exposure across the decades you have left.

Three decisions Praxion models for you

  • RMD strategy and QCDs

    Required minimum distributions start at 73 for many retirees today. QCDs can offset income for charitably inclined plans. Praxion projects RMDs year by year against your other income.

  • Withdrawal order under IRMAA brackets

    Drawing from taxable, traditional, and Roth accounts in the wrong order can push you past IRMAA cliffs and add to lifetime taxes. Praxion compares ordering strategies on matched simulations.

  • Surviving-spouse tax cliff and legacy planning

    Moving from joint to single filing can roughly double effective marginal rates on the same income. Praxion projects the surviving-spouse tax line and the after-tax estate value.
