About the Annuity Payout Calculator
This calculator estimates the payout phase of an annuity. It can solve the payment amount for a fixed payout length, or estimate how long an annuity can last when a fixed payment is supplied.
Fixed length
Choose a payout length such as 10, 15, or 20 years and the calculator solves the periodic income amount.
Fixed payment
Choose a payment amount and the calculator estimates how long the balance can support that payout.
Payout frequency
Monthly, quarterly, semiannual, annual, semimonthly, and biweekly payments can produce different periodic payment amounts and schedules.
Annuity payout considerations
Annuity contracts may include surrender charges, income guarantees, tax rules, death benefits, or restrictions that are not modeled here. A fixed-length payout may leave money for beneficiaries if the owner dies early, while a fixed-payment approach can run out if withdrawals are too high.
