Every IRA contains a different amount. No one dollar amount can apply to every individual. The projected lifespan for a 70 year old person could change between now and when someone else reaches 70. Today's answer might not apply for someone who will reach 69 this year. If someone is reaching 70, he or she should contact the institution that handles the IRA and arrange for withdrawals. They have the ability of calculating that minimum. They can tell him or her in just a few minutes what the amount will be.
Actually, it is best to start withdrawing about 2 months before you actually need to start withdrawing. Institutions take about that long to get things straightened out and it is better to start getting your own money a little early than get it a little late and give part of it to the government.

The Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from an IRA must be taken by April 1 of the year following the year you turn 70½, and then every year after that. The amount is calculated based on your age and the value of your IRA. It is important to make sure you take the correct RMD amount to avoid penalties from the IRS.
