Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
Taxwise, you get one tax assertion on the finish of the yr (really within the following January/ early February). The IRS does not know or care in case your transactions occurred in early January or late December or have been spaced out all year long. The taxes would be the identical so long as your whole capital features and dividends are the identical on the finish of the yr.
The one factor to be involved with taxwise is that your tax withholdings are paid proportionally all year long as your revenue is available in, to keep away from a penalty for underpayment within the early months. In different phrases, you may’t pay the entire taxes in December when a few of your revenue was obtained earlier within the yr.
Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
Not retired fairly but however my plan is to withdraw yearly. And can pull from whichever holding had the perfect efficiency the earlier yr. In different phrases, if I used to be retired on the finish of 2022, I might have pulled all the cash I wanted from my Cash Market Account. Finish of 2023, from my S&P 500 and/or Whole market Index funds.
Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
Like so many issues in private finance, this one can also be private.
I make my withdrawals quarterly, for instance. I take 1/3 of the withdrawal and ship it straight to checking. The rest sits in an ultra-short bond fund the place, the following month half is withdrawn and the third month of the quarter the rest is withdrawn. Rinse and repeat per quarter. It is handy for me because the distributions of my major inventory fund normally occur the final week of 1 / 4 the quantity I promote is adjusted accordingly.
I’m at the moment utilizing the annualized methodology for paying estimated taxes and my quarterly withdrawals could be much more handy if an IRS quarter was the identical as what the remainder of us people outline as 1 / 4, however it’s what it’s…
I’ve one other good friend who does every thing month-to-month. Works for him.
And everyone knows individuals who do it yearly. There are marginal variations every means however whether or not these variations are within the noise or not going ahead is unknowable. So discover what you love to do (or can tolerate doing) and try this.
Cheers.

It relies on cashflow wants, account varieties, and costs concerned. Some money distributions happen month-to-month, quarterly, and twice a yr. As my 401k supplier costs me a $40 charge per distribution, I stage an annual distribution by way of periodic exchanges and make only one distribution within the first quarter.
The frequency of distributions doesn’t change the tax price, however the timing of tax funds due. By taking the annual 401k distribution within the first quarter, I’ve secure harbor for the fed all yr. ROR primarily based on distribution timing is inconsequential as easy cashflow in retirement is extra essential.

Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
I depend on withdrawals for my “take-home pay.” I discover it handy and comforting to obtain month-to-month transfers to my checking account. My “RMD” (required minimal distribution from my 403b) is computerized and happens about midway by way of the month. Then towards the top of month my Social Safety cost arrives in my checking account. Thus I get two computerized transfers to my financial institution per 30 days, roughly two weeks aside. My financial institution additionally robotically sends every day digital updates to me on the present balances in key sectors of my checking account. For instance, this morning: “Your present accessible steadiness for . . . MONEY MARKET CHECKING is $35,143.66 as of seven:14 AM Japanese Time.”

Her share of the bills is pretty secure, so I arrange her distribution to be computerized every month.
OTOH, my share of bills could be very lumpy, so I do a handbook distribution every month.

Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
Not one of the above.
The most effective tax administration software is 2 to three years of expense in money. Therefore, you do not want to withdraw particularly for any yr. Disassociates your withdrawal out of your spending wants.
For instance, in case you don’t have sufficient money however you must spend some huge cash (10K to 20K), do you actually wish to drive to pay loads of taxes?

I wouldn’t get overly harassed about it; undoubtedly not shopping for groceries forward of time. Nonetheless, I don’t know our bills will probably be a yr upfront; typically I don’t even know month-to-month. So, month-to-month withdrawal for me, and there’s no legislation that I can’t reinvest in taxable or withdraw extra if I received it fallacious.

In case you are make RMD withdrawals from an IRA, and if you wish to donate cash to charities, you should definitely take into account QCDs (Certified Charitable Distributions). QCDs can rely as half (or all) of your RMD, however you don’t have to pay revenue tax on them. If you wish to do that, ensure your QCDs are made previous to the completion of your RMD.

Might undoubtedly be overshooting it. You suppose it is nearer to three.85% vs. 4%? Once more, cfiresim.com does not have differentiator for annual/month-to-month withdrawals, and I did not wish to do the maths myself. I am certain one of many miriad of instruments on the market can get an actual deal with on the distinction.
Both means, most likely minimal over a lifetime until you take pleasure in gamifying outcomes. Greatest withdrawal technique is the one you may reside with.
Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
Everybody’s state of affairs is totally different however between Social Safety, RMDs, and never having dividends robotically reinvested I hardly ever have to promote investments until I’ve some massive expense like shopping for a automobile or reworking.
There are many threads about when to take RMDs however I take mine early within the yr simply to make certain it will get completed and to make it simpler on my heirs within the yr once I die.
You additionally want to contemplate that in case your asset allocation is 30 to 40 % shares in retirement that simply if you promote investments will matter much less for the “time out there” than in case you have been 100% shares.

Month-to-month. Places it on auto-pilot. Additionally removes temptation to market time, a boglehead precept.

If in case you have extra cash, you may then dollar-cost-average again into the market.
Do you imply RMD?

For distinctive circumstances, a excessive month-to-month spend similar to a $20,000 bank card invoice(s) a number of property is likely to be lowered to cowl that. i.e. month-to-month withdrawals are a partial or maybe even full portfolio rebalance occasion, for zero further buying and selling prices.

Are you drawing from pretax or submit tax?
Are you 100% inventory allocation?
Myself, all my bills are automated, i.e. paid when due from brokerage account (Cash Market fund).
Mailbox cash is direct deposited into MM fund in my brokerage account. Additionally on a month-to-month foundation, pretax cash (from IRA Cash Market) is robotically deposited into the identical brokerage account.
When it comes time to rebalance on the finish of the yr. The IRA MM fund is replenished with both Inventory gross sales, MYGA funds, or Steady worth relying on asset allocation (not automated).
