Thereโ€™s a simple math formula your financial advisor isnโ€™t telling you that can wreck your 401(k) or IRA.

There is a solution to this problem that I will share at the end, but you need to understand the problem first.

Letโ€™s say that Tom and Mary need $100,000 after taxes from their IRA to support their lifestyle in retirement. For simple illustration purposes, weโ€™ll say they will owe a total of 30% in taxes on their withdrawals.

How much will they have to take out of their IRA to be able to pay both the taxes to the IRS and the $100,000 they need for their lifestyle?

Iโ€™ve asked this question to so many people and the answer I get 90% of the time is $130,000.
On the surface this answer makes sense. Thirty percent of $100,000 is $30,000, right? Add that to the $100,000 you need to pay for your lifestyle and thereโ€™s your answer.

But is that how it works?

Itโ€™s a little bit more complex than that. If you pay 30% in taxes, then you get to keep 70%. However, 70% of $130,000 is only $91,000, which leaves you $9,000 short.

Thatโ€™s $12,857 more than most Americans think. Therein lies the problem. Americans just donโ€™t account for that in retirement because theyโ€™re simply not being told about it.

In other words, when the typical American calls up their financial advisor and says, โ€œI need $100,000 after taxes,โ€œ they think that their balance is going to go down by $100,000. In reality, itโ€™s going to go down by $142,857.

Is it possible that quite a few Americans will be running out of money in their 401(k)s or IRAs a lot faster than they thought? It sure is, and itโ€™s all because of this simple math formula that financial advisors and Wall Street pundits donโ€™t tell them.
