Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)
The minimum amount that an IRA account holder is required to withdraw annually beginning by age 70½. RMDs also apply to employer-sponsored retirement plans, but may be postponed until retirement if an individual works beyond age 70½ and is still employed by the company that is sponsoring the plan.
