Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
Taxwise, you get one tax assertion on the finish of the 12 months (truly 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 had been spaced out all year long. The taxes would be the identical so long as your complete capital features and dividends are the identical on the finish of the 12 months.
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 possibly can’t pay the entire taxes in December when a few of your revenue was acquired earlier within the 12 months.
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 one of the best efficiency the earlier 12 months. 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 Complete market Index funds.
Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
Like so many issues in private finance, this one can 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 The rest sits in an ultra-short bond fund the place, the following month half is withdrawn and the third month of the quarter the rest is withdrawn.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 main 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 pal who does every little thing month-to-month. Works for him.
And everyone knows individuals who do it yearly. There are marginal variations every approach 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.

Except your withdrawal fee is kind of excessive, it is not going to matter a lot and you need to focus extra on what’s an inexpensive course of for you.
In principle, withdrawing month-to-month provides you with about 6 extra months of fairness publicity in your withdrawal which on common would imply a number of % extra return with the accompanying greater volatility – however a hypothetical common of some % of the 4% you could be withdrawing is inconsequential within the larger scheme of issues.

Within the “grander scheme of issues,” nearly every little thing is inconsequential. Within the realm of portfolio efficiency, a number of % of 4% of a giant portfolio could be important.

Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
It will depend on cashflow wants, account varieties, and charges concerned. Some money distributions happen month-to-month, quarterly, and twice a 12 months. As my 401k supplier costs me a $40 payment per distribution, I stage an annual distribution by periodic exchanges and make only one distribution within the first quarter.
The frequency of distributions doesn’t change the tax fee, 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 12 months. ROR primarily based on distribution timing is inconsequential as easy cashflow in retirement is extra necessary.

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 the month. Then towards the tip 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 routinely sends day by day digital updates to me on the present balances in key sectors of my checking account. For instance, this morning: “Your present out there steadiness for . . . MONEY MARKET CHECKING is $35,143.66 as of seven:14 AM Jap Time.”

Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
Her share of the bills is pretty steady, 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.

Just a bit fast math for enjoyable…
Choice 1:

– 80/20 AA
– 4% WR

Choice 2:

– 3.7% WR (assuming month-to-month pull outs of 4% yearly, and the expansion related to the delayed dump)
– Median Final result: $5.5M
So, about 10% higher at finish of life if the three.7% is true. cFIREsim.com does not have a good way to distinguish a yearly vs. month-to-month withdrawal.

If you happen to get pleasure from ‘gamifying’ the retirement math and utilizing spreadsheets, then possibly exploring completely different withdrawals is a enjoyable factor to occupy a day.
Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
Not one of the above.
The perfect tax administration instrument is 2 to three years of expense in money. Therefore, you do not want to withdraw particularly for any 12 months. Disassociates your withdrawal out of your spending wants.
For instance, in case you do not need sufficient money however you want to spend some huge cash (10K to 20K), do you actually need to power to pay plenty of taxes?

I wouldn’t get overly confused about it; undoubtedly not shopping for groceries forward of time. Nevertheless, I don’t know our bills can be a 12 months upfront; generally 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.

That is easy and nicely put!
Choosing nits, however usually shares go up. Similar precept that lump sum investing is normally the proper alternative. Large plop in, trickle out provides you with greatest returns within the majority of years.

Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
If you’re make RMD withdrawals from an IRA, and if you wish to donate cash to charities, you’ll want to take into account QCDs (Certified Charitable Distributions). QCDs can depend as half (or all) of your RMD, however you do not need to pay revenue tax on them. If you wish to do that, be sure your QCDs are made previous to the completion of your RMD.

May 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 need 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 approach, in all probability minimal over a lifetime except you get pleasure from gamifying outcomes. Finest withdrawal technique is the one you possibly can stay with.
Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
Everybody’s state of affairs is completely different however between Social Safety, RMDs, and never having dividends routinely reinvested I hardly ever have to promote investments except I’ve some massive expense like shopping for a automotive or reworking.
There are many threads about when to take RMDs however I take mine early within the 12 months simply to make sure it will get executed and to make it simpler on my heirs within the 12 months after 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 had been 100% shares.

Month-to-month. Places it on auto-pilot. Additionally removes temptation to market time, a boglehead precept. If you happen to’re at RMA age, divide your anticipated RMA up by 12 and have your 401k plan ship you month-to-month checks. You probably have extra cash, you possibly can then dollar-cost-average again into the market.
Do you imply RMD?

Yeah, I’m not there but, however I plan to do it yearly as I don’t need to be fascinated with transactions and valuations each month. It’ll be higher for me mentally to know that I’m set for 12 months, and I’d slightly have enjoyable doing different issues.
Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
See it as completely different ‘currencies/notes’ (belongings) in a e-wallet (brokerage account), the place the upper valued ‘foreign money/observe’ on the time is pulled from that pockets to pay for issues. Considerably much like in case you had traveled to London and a merchandise in a store priced in USD, GBP, Euro was greatest bought utilizing USD as at the moment the USD had the comparatively greater buy energy.
For distinctive instances, a excessive month-to-month spend resembling a $20,000 bank card invoice(s) a number of belongings is likely to be lowered to cowl that. i.e. month-to-month withdrawals are a partial or even perhaps full portfolio rebalance occasion, for zero further buying and selling prices.

Re: Is it better to withdraw monthly or yearly for retirement
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 routinely deposited into the identical brokerage account.
When it comes time to rebalance on the finish of the 12 months. The IRA MM fund is replenished with both Inventory gross sales, MYGA funds, or Secure worth relying on asset allocation (not automated).
