Because stock prices have plunged, your account is probably worth much less than at the end of last year. It's a good article regarding withdrawal.

Since this money goes into the retirement account pre-tax, the government has mandatory withdrawals beginning at age 70.5; the government wants it's tax dollars.

The calculation however, is certainly interesting, I was unaware that it worked this way. The rules should be revised to accomodate our retirees.
