What is the maximum amount of money I can get out of my retirement fund

Even though I've written articles on this topic for my own blog,

the site I reference. It's updated every year with the latest numbers. You can see from the chart, for a single person, $3,800 exemption and a $5,950 standard deduction, so $9,750 is what I call the "zero bracket." Of course, depending on the rest of your situation, you might actually exceed the $5,950 and would be best off itemizing. I owe this helps you.

Well, one approach is to use the top of the 15% bracket (plus itemized/standard deduction and exemptions) to figure how much adjusted gross income to have. You also need to consider whether you are over age 59 1/2, which means you aren't subject to the 10% additional tax, and whether you need all of this to live on. If you don't, do a Roth conversion for the balance. So, it's not a simple answer.
