The tax on $100,000 from a 401(k) is 20%--- that's what they have to withhold...
$20,000----If you move to IRA and withdraw, they do not have to withhold at the time of distribution, but you will have to report the withdrawal on you income taxes..... and the percentage would vary based on the income.....

Fortunately, there are no additional tax penalties when withdrawing funds at age 62. You need to be 59 and 1/2 or older to make 401(k) withdrawals without extra difficulties. Otherwise, an additional 10% penalty is normally imposed by the IRS.
At retirement age, withdrawals should be taken. They are actually mandatory after reaching age 70, so 62 seems like a perfect age to start drawing out of the account. Of course, disbursements are subject to some taxes.
Your 401(k) withdrawals count as income. This means they will be subject to regular Federal income taxes, as well as state taxes, if applicable. Always try to plan your tax strategy wisely. Income from other investments or Social Security will bump up your gross adjusted income, not counting what you withdraw from the 401(k). With a safe withdrawal rate that still gives you a comfortable retirement, you can continue to build wealth with your 401(k), while minimizing potential tax liability.

The withholding tax will either be specified by the plan, or they will ask you what you prefer. How much tax you actually owe will depend on the rest of the information on your tax return.
Most people find 10% federal tax withholding to be a bit too low, and end up paying the balance when they file their tax returns. If you are drawing Social Security, or have other income this year, then you should ask them to withhold 20%. Any excess withholding will become part of your tax refund next spring.
