Introduction

After accumulation, annuitization converts account value into a stream of payments—life only, period certain, or joint-and-survivor. Enter balance, payout rate or term, and payment frequency to estimate income.

Annuity Payout Phase

After accumulation, annuitization converts account value into a stream of payments—life only, period certain, or joint-and-survivor. Enter balance, payout rate or term, and payment frequency to estimate income.

Payout Options

Life annuity pays as long as you live. Period certain guarantees payments for N years even if you die early. Joint life continues for a surviving spouse at a reduced amount.

Inflation Risk

Level payouts lose purchasing power over time. Some annuities offer COLA riders for lower initial payments. Compare with inflation-adjusted portfolio withdrawals.

Formula

Fixed length: payment = balance * r / (1 - (1+r)^-n) per period. Fixed payment: solve years until balance depletes. r = return rate divided by payouts per year; n = total periods.
