Please provide you date of birth and the approximate date of the first distribution.
The SEPP rate will change based on the starting date which is the date of the first distribution. Please see our interest rate section for current rates.
The investment rate is only for illustrative purposes and has nothing to do with the calculation of the distribution.
For the exact formula, I don’t teach math. However, you should be able to find by doing a Google search. The tables are published in IRS Pub 590 and are based on your attained age as of 12/31 of any given year.
If the plan were to start in January, your maximum distribution would be $55,937.04 using an attained age of 55 as of 12/31 in 2019.

If your funds are already in an IRA, then disregard this response.
If your retirement plan is now in a 401-K, and you are planning to transfer it to an IRA in order to set up a SEPP, then stop. Read the other postings on this site about the 401-K option. Also, if the 401-K plan has company stock, then read about the NUA provision of the tax code.

If it would not be a tax issue in 2018, and if you could get the paperwork done very quickly, you could take the full annual distribution before 12/31/2018. That would give you about $ 56,000 immediately. While that is $ 10,000 less than the $ 66,000 you want each year, this “extra” distribution will be available to supplement your lower annual distribution for the next 5 1/2 years, which will get you to age 59 1/2 – 60. Then your plan will end, and you will be able to take any amount thereafter.

That is a very creative and great suggestion but It would affect me in 2018 because I was not working and took low cost healthcare and unemployment so I would owe money maybe more then 10k + taxes.
Great thought though, Thanks

I suggest that you have an accountant run the figures with a computer. In 2018 the Standard Deduction is $ 12,000 single or $ 24,000 married filing jointly. The 10% tax bracket is up to $ 9,525 single, $ 19,050 married. If you were unemployed, you might have a lower tax anyway.
By the way, did you look at the other exceptions for Unemployed Health Insurance or Medical Expenses that you can take from your IRA without the 10% penalty ? You may be in a very low tax bracket if all you had was Unemployment Benefits.
