when making a right turn what lane should you complete your turn in

You should complete a right turn in the right-most lane , usually the lane nearest the curb or edge of the road, unless road markings or signs direct otherwise. That lane is typically the first available driving lane after the turn.

Basic rule

When turning right, start from the right side of your lane and finish in the right-most lane of the road you’re entering. This helps keep your turn predictable and reduces the chance of drifting into other traffic.

When multiple lanes exist

If there are several lanes on the road you’re turning onto, the safest default is to turn into the lane closest to you, which for a right turn is usually the outer/right lane. Some areas and intersections may allow different lane choices if signs or lane arrows show that it’s permitted.

Practical example

If you are turning right onto a two-lane road, you normally end up in the lane nearest the curb, then change lanes only after the turn is fully completed and it is safe to do so.

Note

Local traffic laws can vary, so posted lane arrows and pavement markings always override the general rule.

TL;DR: complete the right turn in the right-most/curb lane unless signs or markings say otherwise.
