How the Annuity Income Estimate works
We grow your investment to the age income begins, then convert that value into a level monthly income over your expected payout years — an illustration only, not a product quote.
Step by step
- Accumulation: the premium grows at an assumed rate until income starts.
- Payout: that value is levelized into monthly payments over the years from income-start age to life expectancy, using a standard annuity-payment formula.
The math
valueAtStart = premium × (1+g)^(startAge−currentAge); monthlyIncome = PV × (r/12) ÷ [1 − (1+r/12)^(−payoutYears×12)].

- Standard time-value-of-money / annuity-payment formulas (public domain).
Note: No carrier pricing or proprietary product factors are used; this is a generic illustration.
- This is an ILLUSTRATIVE estimate, not an annuity quote, offer, or guarantee of income.
- Actual annuity income depends on the specific product, carrier, and current rates. Speak with your advisor.
