How Annuities Work

Annuities are financial products that provide regular payments to policyholders. They are commonly used for retirement planning and can be structured in different ways:

• Fixed annuities: Provide guaranteed payments based on the initial premium paid.
• Variable annuities: Payments are based on the performance of a separate account.
• Immediate annuities: Begin payments immediately after purchase.
• Deferred annuities: Delay payments until a later date.

Annuities can be purchased from insurance companies, banks, or financial advisors. The payments are typically tax-deferred, meaning you pay taxes on the income when you receive it rather than when you invest the money.

Formula Used

The calculator uses the following formula to estimate your 15-year annuity payout:

Where:

• Initial Savings: The amount of money you currently have saved.
• Annual Return: The expected annual growth rate of your savings.
• Annual Withdrawal Rate: The percentage of your savings you plan to withdraw each year.

Worked Example

Let's say you have $100,000 saved, expect a 5% annual return, and want to withdraw 4% of your savings each year.

1. Future Value = $100,000 × (1 + 0.05)^15 ≈ $193,884
2. Monthly Payout = ($193,884 × 0.04) / (12 × 15) ≈ $524.71
3. Total Payout = $524.71 × 12 × 15 ≈ $94,447

This means you could receive approximately $524.71 per month for 15 years, totaling about $94,447 in payouts.
