How to Use This Calculator
To use this calculator, enter the following information:
- Principal Amount: The initial amount of money you want to invest in the annuity.
- Annual Interest Rate: The guaranteed annual interest rate offered by the annuity.
- Term (Years): The number of years you plan to keep the money in the annuity.
Click "Calculate" to see your estimated future value. The calculator will display the total amount you can expect to receive at the end of the term, assuming the interest rate remains constant.
Formula Used
The future value of a fixed annuity is calculated using the compound interest formula:
Future Value = Principal × (1 + (Annual Interest Rate / 100))Term
Where:
- Principal is the initial amount of money invested.
- Annual Interest Rate is the guaranteed rate of return per year.
- Term is the number of years the money is invested.
This formula assumes the interest is compounded annually. The result is rounded to two decimal places for display.
Worked Example
Let's say you invest $10,000 in a USAA fixed annuity with a 3% annual interest rate for 5 years.
Using the formula:
Future Value = $10,000 × (1 + 0.03)5
Future Value = $10,000 × 1.159274
Future Value = $11,592.74
After 5 years, you would have approximately $11,592.74 in the annuity, assuming the interest rate remains constant.
