What factors influence the outcome of the Annuity payout?

The amount of annuity payouts is affected by many factors. By understanding all these factors, you will be able to analyze your results correctly and make a rational comparison of the offers.

Principal Amount

The total sum which you decide to invest will actually determine the amount of payment - so if it is higher, it means higher periodical payments - assuming, of course, that all other parameters remain the same.

Interest Rate

How fast your annuity grows directly relates to how large your monthly payments become. A modest discrepancy in growth between the two annuities can amount to thousands over time.

Payout Period Length

A shorter payout period will increase the size of each payment and a longer period will stretch the same funds out over a series of payments.

Payment Frequency

Monthly, quarterly, annual payment schedule can affect the compounding of interest between payments and have a little impact on the payout.

Annuity Type

Guaranteed fixed payouts are associated with the former as markets affect variable and indexed products.

Life Expectancy (for Lifetime Annuities)

Lifetime annuities are based on actuarial life expectancy tables, so your age and health assumptions will affect how much you get paid each month.

Fees and Charges

Administrative fees, surrender charges, mortality fees and charges all decrease your usable cash payment; keep a close eye on these!

Inflation Adjustments

A cost of living adjustment (COLA) annuity typically provides lower beginning cash flows that will rise over time to counter inflation that may reduce the future spending power.
